Involuntary Marriages From a Human Rights Perspective: Towards an Analytical Framework

Year 2018, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, 95 - 120, 26.02.2018

Osman Aytar

Abstract

The aim of this article is to develop an analytical
framework for understanding involuntary marriages from a
human rights perspective based on the United Nations’ human rights conventions
and the European Convention for the Protection of
Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The empirical material used as a
basis for an analytical framework consists of 16 thematic open-ended interviews
with Kurds in Sweden. A total of eight of the 16 respondents were below 18
years of age when they married. The results from these interviews show that the
majority of interviewees’ marriages are arranged. The results also show that
the reasons behind these marriages and the consequences of them are complex and
go beyond being mere expressions of gender roles. In addition to the fathers
who typically have greater influence than the mothers do, there are differences
in power and influence among women as well, such as mothers’ power over
daughters and step-mothers’ power over step-daughters. Therefore, there is a need for new and wider perspectives
on involuntary marriages, and the analytical framework
developed in this article is a part of such a purpose.

Bir İnsan Hakları Perspektifi ile Gönülsüz Evliliklere Bakış: Analitik Bir Çerçeveye Doğru

Year 2018, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, 95 - 120, 26.02.2018

Abstract

Bu makalenin amacı, Birleşmiş Milletler'in insan hakları sözleşmeleri ve Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi'ni esas alan bir insan hakları perspektifinden hareketle gönülsüz evlilikleri anlamak için analitik bir çerçeve
geliştirmektir. Tanıtılan
analitik çerçevenin temeli
olarak kullanılan ampirik materyal, İsveç'te 16 Kürt ile yapılan tematik açık
uçlu söyleşileri kapsamaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan 16 kişiden sekizi, evlendiğinde 18 yaşın
altındaydı. Söyleşi sonuçları, görüşülenlerin evliliklerinin çoğunluğunun
düzenlenmiş
evlilikler olduklarını göstermektedir.
Sonuçlar ayrıca, bu evliliklerin arkasındaki nedenlerin ve bunların
sonuçlarının çok yönlü ve cinsiyet rolleri ifadelerinin ötesinde olduklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Genellikle annelerden daha fazla
etkiye sahip olan babalara ek olarak, annelerin
kızları çocukları ve üvey annelerin üvey kız
çocukları üzerindeki gücü gibi
kadınlar arasında
da güç ve nüfuz konusunda
farklılıklar vardır.
Bu nedenle gönülsüz evliklerle ilgili yeni ve daha geniş perspektiflere ihtiyaç
var ve bu makalede geliştirilen analitik çerçeve de böylesi bir amacın bir
parçasıdır.
