Some of the needs of people with disabilities, however, require special consideration and special planning, such as marriage and family formation. Objective: Considering the necessity of marriage in this group, the aim of this study is to determine the effective variables and barriers of marriage for persons with disabilities and to obtain a model of these factors in order to plan and act effectively in this field. Method: Previous research and interviews with four groups of disabilities, disabled families, center officials and specialists have been used to obtain these variables. The method used for analyzing the relationships between variables is ISM's interpretive structural modeling that measures the effectiveness and effectiveness of the variables on each other. It was also determined using MICMAC analysis. Results: Findings show that the factors affecting the type and severity of disability are the most influential variables in the model. Then, the type of society's attitude towards disability and lack of organizational and legal mechanisms are also important factors in removing barriers to marriage. Conclusion: According to the results, it is necessary to address the challenges of the mentioned barriers with priority of education, prevention and reform of attitude and action in the field of sound policies.
