From her earliest years studying law, Elaheh knew she had a knack for comparative law.

Holding a master's degree in jurisprudence and Islamic law from the University of Tehran, she defended a thesis on a "comparative study of child custody in Shiite, Iranian, and French law." She then continued her studies in France, completing a Master 2 in family law at Lyon III University, before embarking on a doctoral thesis in comparative law focusing on children born through assisted reproductive technology (ART) under French, English, and Iranian law.

Elaheh then returned to Iran, where she was recruited as a lecturer at the Faculty of Law of Azad University in Mashhad. Elaheh then continued her research in comparative family and reproductive law, venturing into topics as technical as they are ethical and ideological: comparative law of estate planning, post-mortem reproduction in Iranian law, criminal mediation in Muslim countries, and the status of stepparents in French and Iranian law.

Fluent in French, Elaheh is also a sworn translator into French for the Iranian judiciary.

Elaheh is also a trainee lawyer and a member of the Khorasan Razavi Bar Association (Iran).

Elaheh practices Iranian law, comparative family law, comparative medical law, and Islamic law.
