Abstract
Aim. To determine if there is a correlation between women’s traditional views about marriage and the family (TBAMAK), patriarchal beliefs about marriage (PBAM), and beliefs about wife beating (IBWB) and type and frequency of violence they are subjected to. Method. This study’s universe comprises of 64 women housed in Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Policies’ women protection houses because of domestic violence. Findings. Data gathered during this study demonstrates that there is a direct correlation between having traditional beliefs about marriage and women being subjected to sexual violence. There is a direct correlation between having beliefs justifying wife beating (JUWB) and women being subjected to sexual violence. There is also an inverse correlation between having patriarchal beliefs about marriage and women being subjected to physical, economical, psychological violence and neglect. Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation was demonstrated between having traditional beliefs about family and marriage and frequency of being subjected to violence. Results. Data suggests that having traditional and patriarchal beliefs about family and marriage and having beliefs justifying wife beating are partially determinative about the type and frequency of violence women are subjected to.

ÖzetAmaç, Kadınların aile ve evlilik hakkında geleneksel (TBAMAF) ve ataerkil inançları (PBAM) ve kadın dövmeye ilişkin inançları (IBWB) ile uğradıkları şiddetin türü ve sıklığı arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Yöntem. Çalışmanın evrenini, Türkiye’de Aile ve Sosyal Politikalar Bakanlığına bağlı kadın konuk evlerinde aile içinde şiddete maruz kalmaları nedeni ile koruma altına alınan 64 kadın oluşturmaktadır. Bulgular. Aile ve evlilik hakkında geleneksel inançlara ve kadın dövmeyi haklılaştırmaya ilişkin (JUWB) inaçlara sahip olma ile cinsel şiddete maruz kalma arasında doğrudan; evlilik hakkında ataerkil inançlara sahip olma ile cinsel şiddet hariç, fiziksel, ekonomik, psikolojik şiddete ve ihmale maruz kalma arasında ters yölü bir ilişki vardır. Öte yandan kadınların şiddete uğrama sıklığı ile sadece aile ve evlilik hakkında geleneksel inançları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç. Veriler, kadınların aile ve evlilik hakkında geleneksel ve ataerkil inançlara ve kadın dövmeye ilişkin inançlara sahip olmalarının maruz kaldıkları şiddetin türü ve sıklığı üzerinde kısmen belirleyici olduğunu göstermektedir.
