@article{2018,title={TESTING THE HONOR: DIVORCED AND WIDOW WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES IN TURKEY},abstractNode={In this study, my main purpose is to grasp how women whose marriage is ended up either by divorce or the loss of the husband experience the life after marital dissolution as widows and a divorced women. These women are stigmatized such as they are called “deviant” or assumed sexually threat to stable marriage and families as widow or divorced women. Thus, because of these attitudes, they are isolated and stayed in more closed relations. Morever, because of the cultural context they live in, divorced and widow women trapped in the control of other men in the family, in the neighborhood or in the society. To express that they are "honorable" in order to live in a more socio-eco-friendly way after the end of the marriage by divorce or death of the spouse.},author={Esra GEDİK},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
