Abstract The present study investigates the way in which the women encounter patriarchy in their private lives. For this purpose, their lives transformation in the stages of gender stereotypes, marriage, ideal femininity, matrimony and private life.have been considered. Our theoretical framework is based on the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu and the research method is qualitative. To collect the data, we employed semi-structured and in-depth interviews. In this survey, according to Pierre Bourdieu’s cultural capital indices, we have divided the women into three different groups: traditional, modern and educated. These groups have been interviewed based on four fundamental patriarchal indices in the survey including male identity, male-orientation and male dominance. The result of the study shows there were reproduction and resistance intermittently which depend very much on correspondents’ cultural capital and field experiences. The importance of those indices was not equal. In some cases, the structural pressure of the indices makes them bring their attitudes nearer, in spite of their differences.
