In the religious texts of Islam, procreation and having children are things that are praised, and there has been a lot of emphasis and encouragement in this regard. Also, the most important function of the family is to bear children, and there are many hadiths encouraging men to get married to women who are capable of bearing children (1). On the other hand, the financial, psychological, and physical challenges caused by assisted reproductive technologies probably put additional stress on infertile couples (2). It is estimated that infertility affects 8–12% of couples of reproductive age worldwide. The prevalence of infertility in Iran has been reported to range from 10.3% to 24.9% (3-4). Also, the infertility rate in South and West Asia is up to 30% (5).
