TI  - A SOCIOLOGICAL APPROACH ON KIN MARRIAGES IN TURKEY
AB  - This paper intends to do a sociological analysis of kin marriage, a subjectmatter of sharp discussions both in Turkish society and in European public.Traditionally, to some extent, practiced and largely approved by the societyin Turkey, this type of marriage was opened to discussions during the secondhalf of the last century. The discussions started to be gradually dominatedby a medical discourse that focuses on bio-medical results of kin marriageand treats it as a risk factor. Although such views are widely accepted insociety, kin marriage insistently keeps its existence. Based on a sociologicalperspective, this paper aims to analyze the factors leading to the existenceof kin marriage despite wide spreading disapproval thoughts and attitudesagainst it.
