Reflection on gender indices derived from Verses of religious laws, represents that religious laws have been wisely legislated based on personal and physiological traits of men and women; such as their different structure reflects in their rights and establishes a close link between the legislative laws and the psychological structure of two sexes. The paper, with integrating issues of interpretation and psychological achievements and relying on the character of "altruism", which is the main source of the woman's personal traits in psychological investigations, analyzes gender differences in the verses of religious laws; the verses which related to "Idda" (three or four monthly periods), "Daraja" (grade) and "Ghavvamiyya" (protection). In this study, we conclude that the law of Idda, having the essence of obedience, have been associated to the gentle nature of women, and the phrase of "daraja" in the language of the Quran is indicative of the relative strength of the emotional aspect of women regarding men. Protecting and supporting of men also helps emotionally stable of women.
