Abstract
Purpose: Any attempt to plan ring to improve social relations in the present era is impossible without knowing the past. One of the significant sources which makes us familiar with the culture of ancient Iran is Shahname where one can find hundreds of years of experience of Iranian life. Methods: we have selected Shahname for the study of family relationships in ancient of Iran. We have classified the relationships into ancestral and marital and have analyzed the features of each category. Conclusion: In the society the relationship at the high-class is wide but it is atomic/ nuclear at the middle and low class. Consanguinity is more friendlier than kinship through marriage and it is formed on the base of policy
