The first section touched on the legal guarantees for women during the marital relationship in the Code of Hammurabi, explaining the role of the marriage contract in guaranteeing women’s rights in the Code of Hammurabi. The legal guarantees for women in the event of polygamy in the Code of Hammurabi were noted, and the guarantees established to protect women’s rights in the field of legal actions. In the second section, the researcher touched on the guarantees of women’s rights upon the termination of the marital bond in the Code of Hammurabi. The guarantees stipulated in old Iraqi laws related to protecting the rights of family members and guarantees of women’s rights to inheritance were discussed.  The study concluded that the Code of Hammurabi came with legal texts to guarantee women’s rights and regulate family and familial relations, and that his law was superior in its justice to many of the legislation that preceded it, through what it included rules and provisions regulating the affairs of women as they are the weak party in the marital relationship, so women gained a status.
