Özet
The aim of this article is to understand and analyze the behaviors
and attitudes of Syrian women under temporary protection of Turkey
towards polygyny. Recent studies in Turkish cities on south-eastern
border present the discomfort felt by the local women about Syrians.
Local women stated that Syrian women affected their spouses and in
relation with this, there was an increase in divorces and polygyny. In
order to analyze the situation in these communities, in-depth interviews
were held with 20 Syrian women in Antakya and Antakya Red Crescent
Center between December 2018 and February 2019. Given that each
society has developed different ways of adapting to life within the
framework of its unique socio-cultural and economic conditions, women
who experience everyday life differently are likely to develop different
strategies to cope with the challenges they face.Even though personal
care and giving importance to looking beautiful is expressed as cultural
identity by Syrian women when analyzed in detail this tendency
signalizes an area that is created constantly through patriarchal
discourses. The transmitter, controller, judge of this area, which is
created constantly through a masculine point of view, is women. In
conclusion Syrian women do not tolerate polygyny and develop strategies
to cope with this problem. Cultural codes stated by women in the study,
such as giving effort to look well-groomed and beautiful under any
circumstances, spoiling the husband determine the position of women in
society and also support patriarchy. Because against a threat of a “cowife” prioritize all the wishes of husbands and continuously work to
‘satisfy’ males under any circumstances.
