Türkan DoğanSelda Sakızcıoğlu

The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of married individuals about marital rape. For this purpose, data were collected from ten individuals, five females and five males, using the interview method. An interview form with 12 open-ended questions was prepared as a data collection tool. The content analysis method was used for data analysis. In this study, two main areas, namely “Sexuality in Marriage” and “Marital Rape”, and the themes and sub-themes within these core areas, were determined. Participants’ views on the definition, causes, and effects of marital rape, as well as the definitions of and attitudes towards victim and perpetrator were given. The findings were discussed within the framework of the literature and suggestions were made. The themes obtained from the study are similar to the themes of other qualitative studies in the literature. The study will enable multiple projects and practices to be carried out by authorized institutions in the field of marriage and family to eliminate negative attitudes and behaviors that cause and reinforce marital rape.

Türkan DoğanSelda Sakızcıoğlu

Bu çalışmanın amacı, evli bireylerin evlilik içi tecavüze ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla beşi kadın, beşi erkek olmak üzere on bireyden görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak veri toplanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak 12 açık uçlu sorunun yer aldığı bir görüşme formu hazırlanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada “Evlilikte Cinsellik” ve “Evlilik İçi Tecavüz” olarak adlandırılan iki temel alan ve bu temel alanlar içerisinde yer alan temalar ve alt temalar belirlenmiştir. Evlilik içi tecavüzün tanımı, nedenleri, etkileri, mağdura ve faile yönelik tanımlamalar ve tutumlar gibi konularda katılımcıların görüşlerine yer verilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ilgili alan yazın çerçevesinde tartışılmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Çalışmadan elde edilen temalar, literatürdeki başka nitel çalışmaların temalarıyla benzeşmektedir. Bu çalışmanın evlilik içi tecavüze neden olan ve bunu pekiştiren olumsuz tutum ve davranışların ortadan kaldırılması için evlilik ve aile alanında yetkili kuruluşlarca yürütülecek çeşitli projelere ve uygulamalara katlı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
