Of the cases, that the legislator has accepted the criminal liability resulting from the other’s act is agheleh guarantee under section of which the agheleh is bound to pay for the murder blood money and the mistake injuries on behalf of the wrongdoer criminal according to the provisions stipulated in the law. This way of remedy that has been made in systems that lived as tribes, has been followed by many advantages such as unity and cooperation among the tribe members. However, it seems that at present and considering the social structure of current communities in which the kinship relationships and even familial ones are becoming corer day by day, the existence of such a guarantee, which had been created for facilitation, will sometimes become problematic and due to the same reason, it can be stated that the above-mentioned guarantee has lost the efficacy of the past period and one should use the establishment of a new fund in the name of “physical injuries compensation fund due to mistake crimes” by removing or authorizing it.
