To avoid a legal vacuum during transition, three options exist for ensuring continuity of governance and law:

1. Option 1 – Return to Pre-1979 Constitutional Framework
   • Restore the 1906 Constitutional Law and legal codes of the monarchy.
   • Advantage: historical legitimacy.
   • Risk: may alienate groups who associate monarchy with repression.
2. Option 2 – Temporary Use of Current Civil Codes
   • Retain existing civil and criminal codes but strip away ideological elements.
   • Advantage: minimizes disruption in courts and administration.
   • Risk: legitimacy concerns, as many laws are tainted by the Islamic Republic.
3. Option 3 – Hybrid Approach (Recommended)
   • Preserve useful and neutral civil codes.
   • Immediately annul ideological, discriminatory, and repressive laws.
   • Gradually prepare the drafting of a new democratic constitution.

👉 The hybrid model offers both continuity and reform, ensuring stability while moving toward a rights-based system.
