Türkiye de Tutunma Stratejisi Olarak Evlilik: Mülteci Evliliği

Abstract

It is necessary to learn the dynamics of the adaptation processes of refugee women to the society and social relations in the countries where they take refuge by interviewing Syrian refugee women. The aim of the present study is to examine migrant marriage as an adaptation strategy in Türkiye. The adaptation way of Syrian women who have migrated to Türkiye will be analyzed within the scope of the main problem of the study. It will also be determined whether they used marriage as an adaptation strategy for this purpose. The qualitative method, which is frequently used in scientific research was used in the study. A semi-structured interview form was created by the researcher for data collection. The interview form is comprised of 19 questions. The collected data were analyzed using the content analysis method. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that Syrian refugee women who migrated to Türkiye prefer marriage in order to adapt and hold on to life here. There were cases where marriage facilitated the adaptation process among refugee women after the interviews. However, there have also been cases where the marriage did not have a positive effect on the adaptation process. Furthermore, even if refugee women prefer marriage, they continue to be exposed to social exclusion.
