Marriage is a completely cultural category;Criticism of the quality of the conducted research with the focus on examining the psychometric properties of the developed tools is one of the most important strategies in the construction and improvement of measurement tools; Therefore, this research was conducted in a systematic review with the aim of identifto identifyying the characteristics of Iranian marriage selection criteria tools. The search strategy was based on PRISMA guidelines.As a result of the search in the internal databases such as Noormags, IranDoc, Civilica, Elmnet, SID, and Ensani Portal from 2000 to 2023,several 347 internal documents were identified and initially recovered.After discarding the inappropriate ones, 18 articles with thematic focus criteria for Marriage selections were extracted. The studies were evaluated in two stages: first, the agreement between the two reviewers was calculated using Cohen's Kappa coefficient(r=0.82),and none of the articles was removed. Secondly, each study was assessed based on bias, confounders, power, and strength of association between intervention and outcomes using the Quality Assessment. The findings demonstrated currently, until 2023, there are 18 Iranian quantitative tools for measuring spouse selection criteria. In fact, due to the complexities of the subject, the effectiveness of the incremental changes, and the limitations caused by the lack of attention to the principles of design and formulation of the conceptualization, methodical, and analytical sections, the measurement of this important issue is associated with shortcomings;This is the necessity of designing, developing, compiling and standardizing contextual and cultural tools according to the requirements of today's society.
