| All about Turkey Traditions, Customs. | |
| By: Ayshia Date: November 4, 2014, 12:48 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| I\'ll take your questions about Turkish traditions.� | |
| es, thats | |
| it. Feel free ask to me | |
| em><strong>1.</strong></em> | |
| "What | |
| does throwing a bowl of water after a traveller signify?� I have | |
| seen this in Binbir Gece and in | |
| Karadayi.\"� | |
| em><strong>Answer:�</strong></em> | |
| here are a | |
| Turkish saying �\"Go like water, come like water.\" It means | |
| that \"Go and come immediately.\" And because of this saying, | |
| some mothers throw a bowl of water behind their sons, when they | |
| went soldiering. It\'s become \'custom\' in course of | |
| time.� | |
| em><strong>2.�</strong></em> | |
| ave some Turkish man | |
| Polygamy?� | |
| em><strong>Answer:�</strong></em> | |
| o. Turkish man | |
| haven\'t got. This is banned in 1926. But in Turkey, yes, there | |
| are. Actually, the Kurds who living eastern side, they have | |
| polygamy. | |
| em><strong>3.�</strong></em> | |
| "Which finger is | |
| the engagement ring finger for women and men in Turkey and which | |
| one is the wedding ring finger? And does this differ from one | |
| region in Turkey to | |
| another?\"� | |
| strong><em>Answer:�</em></strong> | |
| b>�</b>Engagem | |
| ent | |
| ring finger is \"right\", and wedding ring finger is \"left\". | |
| Not changed. But some conservative married woman and man wear | |
| the ring on right side. And man mustn\'t wear gold ring (or | |
| about gold stuff) for our religion.� | |
| strong>4.�</strong> | |
| s | |
| there a religious wedding in Turkey and how it is done? (I mean | |
| the ceremony) | |
| strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> | |
| o, there | |
| isn\'t ceremony. Only there is religious wedding in mosque or | |
| home.� | |
| efore modern wedding, everyone make religious wedding. | |
| And after 1-2 weeks religious wedding, occuring modern | |
| wedding.� | |
| aybe you watched on Kara Para Ask, Metin-Nil�fer | |
| religious wedding. The same.� | |
| n religious wedding, there are | |
| Imam, 2 Marriage Witness Man, or 1 Marriage Witness Man and 2 | |
| Marriage Witness Woman. | |
| mam, asks \"Do you want marriage to | |
| him/her?\" to bride and groom. And than, Imam asks \"What do you | |
| want for bride price?\" to woman.� | |
| hats it | |
| � | |
| em><strong>5.</strong></em> | |
| o, just to clarify your answers | |
| to question 2 and 4, so a second marriage isn\'t legally | |
| recognized by the government, right? The second wife doesn\'t | |
| have any rights? Even for the Kurds. And a marriage such as | |
| Metin-Nilu marriage is also not recognized by the law either, | |
| right? | |
| strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> | |
| es, second married | |
| is illegal. Law don\'t recognize religious wedding or polygamy. | |
| And yes, second wife haven\'t got any rights in law. She is only | |
| \"Third \'person\' between husband-wife\" for law. Law don\'t | |
| accept even first wife allow the second wife.� | |
| or example, If | |
| Nil�fer go to courthouse and say \"My husband beat me.\" law | |
| didn\'t accept her complaint. I mean they\'ve informal marriage | |
| in law. | |
| ahaha i love this job! I\'m law student. And please | |
| ask me about law, too easy for me | |
| :P� | |
| em><strong>6.</strong></em> | |
| an a judge in Turkey preside | |
| over a case in which the person standing trial is a family | |
| member or a friend or an ex-fiance? I am asking because in | |
| Karadayi, Feride, a judge, will supposedly handle Mahir\'s case | |
| (her ex-finance). That can\'t happen in real life, | |
| right?� | |
| em><strong>Answer:�</strong></em> | |
| o, it can\'t. | |
| Impossible. Giant logical error in Karaday?.� | |
| � | |
| em><strong>7.</strong></em> | |
| o, a religious ceremony such | |
| as Nilu-Metin\'s isn\'t recognized by law. Then, how does a | |
| couple marry legally? Meaning, to be recognized by law that they | |
| are married?� | |
| em><strong>Answer:</strong></em> | |
| ike other | |
| country. They have to consult register office. And they have to | |
| hold a wedding or | |
| solemnize.� | |
| em><strong>8.</strong></em> | |
| ee, for the past | |
| few months I keep seeing photoshopped pictures of this | |
| person: | |
| img | |
| src=\" | |
| http://www.starkibris.net/resimler/magazin/14102014/9.jpg\"<br | |
| />alt=\"9.jpg\">� ��<img | |
| src=\" | |
| http://i.hizliresim.com/LoqoEo.jpg\"<br | |
| />alt=\"LoqoEo.jpg\"> | |
| ho is she? And why is everyone | |
| photoshopping her in various situations?� | |
| � | |
| em><strong>Answer:</strong></em> | |
| ahaha. She is Nur | |
| Yerlita?. She is jury member of TV Fashion Contest; \"Bu Tarz | |
| Benim\". She never like competitior\'s clothes. Everytime she | |
| says \"What kind of clothes are they? Are they belongs to | |
| beggar?\" with above picture phiz.� | |
| nd people ridicule her phiz | |
| and her dissapprobation, on Internet.� | |
| ic translates; \"What | |
| kind of ship we\'ve been now?\" \"What kind of Match is | |
| this?\"� | |
| em><strong>9.</strong></em> | |
| hat about the henna | |
| night Ayshia?�and if i remember well Fatmagul wanted to give | |
| some henna to her neighbor, is it a tradition to give henna to | |
| unmarried friends | |
| etc?? | |
| em><strong>Answer:</strong></em> | |
| es. It\'s a custom. | |
| But not with just unmarried friends. Every bride make henna | |
| night with woman, girls, her friends...� | |
| henna night | |
| example; | |
| She wearing kaftan (caftan). Traditional woman | |
| costume of Ottoman Empire. � | |
| em><strong>10.</strong></em> | |
| have seen it is the mother who got custody of the children. Is | |
| this the case in Turkey? Does the mother always get custody and | |
| the father gets visitation | |
| rights?� | |
| strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> | |
| omplicated case. | |
| After couple divorce, child, mother and father go to trial for | |
| custody. Cancellarius decided which parent more care of the | |
| child than other parent? Therefore, mother or father gain | |
| child\'s custody.� | |
| img | |
| src=\" | |
| http://png-4.findicons.com/files/icons/905/style_islam/256/tesbih.png\"<br | |
| />alt=\"tesbih.png\"> | |
| em><strong>11.</strong></em> | |
| hat is it | |
| called in | |
| Turkey? | |
| em><strong>Answer:�</strong></em> | |
| "Tesbih\" in | |
| Turkish. | |
| em><strong>12.</strong></em> | |
| f I see a character | |
| in a dizi with one one these, should I conclude that this | |
| character is suppose to be | |
| pious/religious? | |
| em><strong>Answer:</strong></em> | |
| ctually, | |
| no. If you see a character with tesbih, he is \"rowdy\". But in | |
| Turkey, it\'s extra both. All Turkey love tesbih, you can see | |
| its with conservative/not�conservative , rowdy/not rowdy.�So | |
| you\'re right : ) | |
| strong><em>13.</em></strong> | |
| hy do some | |
| girls sign the sole of a bride\'s shoe just before the wedding | |
| ceremony? what does it | |
| signify?� | |
| em><strong>Answer:</strong></em> | |
| sually the | |
| bride wrote unmarried friend\'s name in the sole of shoe. It\'s | |
| mean \"I hope you will married | |
| ASAP.\"� | |
| em><strong>14.</strong></em> | |
| want to ask what | |
| the red ribbon around the bride | |
| means.. | |
| em><strong>Answer:</strong></em> | |
| ed Ribbon means | |
| \"Stay strong, be strong! I hope, Allah give you power.\" in | |
| Turkey | |
| em><strong>15.</strong></em> | |
| \'Oyle Bir Gecer | |
| Zamanki\', Cemile could have, if she wanted to, filed a | |
| complaint against Ali for having a relationship with Caroline as | |
| in the 60s it was illegal to have an�extramarital�affair in | |
| Turkey. And I think in last night\'s episode of Karadayi, Ayten | |
| reported Necdet for his affair (though I am not sure if this was | |
| the case, I didn\'t understand the exact�dialogue). So I guess | |
| my questions is this:�Is it true that a wife could have pressed | |
| charges against her husband if he cheated?� �And if it is true, | |
| Why did they change the law? That was a great | |
| law. | |
| em><strong>Answer:</strong></em> | |
| es, she can. If she | |
| sure the cheate, she can sue for damages, or she can divorce, or | |
| she can unhouse her husband with gendarmerie report. Not | |
| changed, still the same : | |
| ) | |
| em><strong>16.</strong></em> | |
| hat is the name of the | |
| dance that begins in 1:07:14 | |
| ? | |
| strong>Answer:�</strong> | |
| amat | |
| Halay?. | |
| em><strong>17.</strong></em> | |
| an you tell us about | |
| the engagement ceremony?<br>In KPA why did Omer put a golden | |
| chain to Elif\'s neck?� | |
| strong>Answer:</strong> | |
| ctually we | |
| don\'t call \'engagement\' for this ceremony. It\'s \"Asking for | |
| the girl\'s hand in marriage\" (K?z isteme) It\'s in our | |
| tradition/religion. The man come the girl\'s home with his kins | |
| (maximal 8-9 person), and his father or grandfather or anyone in | |
| the ancestry said that <em>\"Can we take your girls by our | |
| son\'s side (from your side) with Allah\'s allowance and the | |
| prophet Muhammad\'s sayings/deeds\"</em> to the the girl\'s mom | |
| or father, anyone in the girl\'s ancestry too.� | |
| nd the Man\'s | |
| family have to give valuable article (golden jewel) to the their | |
| bride. Generally,�engagement ceremony is happen after(1-2 months | |
| after) the \"K?z ?steme\" | |
| ceremony.� | |
| em><strong>18.</strong></em> | |
| yshia is a medical | |
| test obbligatory before the wedding in order to get | |
| married?Why?<br>Because when Elif and Omer went to book their | |
| wedding day they were asked to bring | |
| it...� | |
| strong>Answer:�</strong> | |
| supposed medical test | |
| obligatory�in every country before wedding. Isn\'t it? I | |
| suprised.� | |
| here are too many reason. | |
| ut the most important | |
| is�blood incompatibility and�sterility. Maybe boy is sterile and | |
| the girl doesn\'t know this.� | |
| n short, this is�assurance for | |
| couple\'s future.� | |

| Good question Peri. So�<a href=\"\" title=\"\" rel=\"external | |

| 2 and 4, so a second marriage isn\'t legally recognized by the | |
| government, right? The second wife doesn\'t have any rights? | |
| Even for the Kurds. And a marriage such as Metin-Nilu marriage | |
| is also not recognized by the law either, right? | |
| nd haha @ | |
| your BF | |
| hank you for clarifying this point: \"<em>But some | |
| conservative married woman and man wear the ring on right | |
| side.\"�</em>I asked because I had seen it on both fingers and | |
| yes, the woman I saw who was wearing on her right hand was | |
| conservative. Thank you | |

| Oh, so you are a law student. Guzel Let me think of a law | |
| question then, hmmmmmmmm, hmmmmm...Oh, here is one: | |
| an a | |
| judge in Turkey preside over a case in which the person standing | |
| trial is a family member or a friend or an ex-fiance? I am | |
| asking because in Karadayi, Feride, a judge, will supposedly | |
| handle Mahir\'s case (her ex-finance). That can\'t happen in | |
| real life, right? Oh, and I am not referring to season 2. | |
| Because in that case she was hiding her relationship, I am | |
| referring to S2 finale scene. | |
| TW, I like how you edit your | |
| first post and answer all the questions there, it keeps it all | |
| neat and tidy. Thank you | |
