Abstract Many of poets in pre-Islamic times have pointed out to their marital disputes and defended from themselves in different ways according to the severity of the dispute or its lightness. The Jahiliyah poet thought that woman tends to the young and rich men and for that reason they had no respet for them. Tribal customs, of course, had important role in Preference for men over women. This article seeks to know the atmosphere of the marital discord among poets, and its diversity of circumstances and its grades, in terms of strengths and weaknesses. This discord sometimes ends in disputes and beating and sometimes leads to the divorce. Pre-Islamic poetry sources have quoted many poems in this regard. The importance of this article is to relate the marital disputes to the atmosphere and pre-Islamic traditions, and to significance lessons learned from the poets for the correction of environmental functions affected by the atmosphere and tradition. And finally this article finds that marital disputes are due to following items: age differences, tribal conflicts, different ideas, family separation, the absence of a divine law that regulates family disputes in addition to the harshness of living and the large movement in the desert.
