Prof. Akif Kireçci June 2014 As a result of reforms, related socioeconomic changes, and wars, at the turn of the 20th century, problems related to family matters were demanding in the late Ottoman Empire. People were confused over issues of marriage, divorce, alimony, and inheritance. Muslim jurists and politicians thus eventually became aware of the need for change in Islamic family law. Besides, legal modernization and the use of law as a tool for social control—for the processes of nation building, the creation of the Ottoman citizen, and the establishment of a new family structure—in the late Ottoman Empire had changed the Ottoman legal culture and required a reform in all areas of Islamic law including the family law. Despite their importance, the issues of family law remain understudied for the late Ottoman Empire. The general historiography focuses on visible political institutions, diplomatic events, and intellectual currents. Besides, an equation of the West with progress and modernity and of the East with stagnation and tradition, which still dominates much of the discussion on family law reform, obscures the possible explanations. Hence, the main objective of this work is the presentation and exploration of the legal, political, sociocultural, and economic contexts of the family law reform and the reformed law’s application in the new Ottoman legal culture to examine the compatibility between legal innovation and the needs of state and society. Keywords: Family Law, legal modernization, legal culture, twentieth century, Ottoman history, sijills, marriage, divorce, reform, modernization. iii ÖZET ERKEN YİRMİNCİ YÜZYIL OSMANLI TOPLUMUNDA EVLİLİK VE BOŞANMA: 1917 AİLE HUKUKU KARARNAMESİ Altınbaş, Nihan Doktora, Tarih Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Yrd. Doç. Dr. Akif Kireçci Haziran 2014 Reformlar, onlarla bağlantılı sosyo-ekonomik değişiklikler ve savaşlar nedeniyle yirminci yüzyılın başında Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda aile kurumu ile ilgili konular -evlilik, boşanma, nafaka ve miras- gündemde idi. Toplumdaki aile hukuku ile alakalı sıkıntıları gidermek ve sorunlara cevap verebilmek maksadı ile Müslüman âlimler, hukukçular ve politikacılar için çalışmalar yapmaktaydı. Öte yandan, hukuktaki modernleşme ve hukukun toplumu kontrol aracı olarak kullanılması -ki bu sayede ulus-devletin kurulması, Osmanlı vatandaşının yaratılması ve yeni aile yapısının oluşturulması mümkün olabilmişti- Osmanlı hukuk kültürünü de değiştirmişti. Değişen hukuk kültürü ise İslam hukukunun diğer tüm alanlarında olduğu gibi aile hukukunda da değişiklikler yapılmasını gerektiriyordu. Aile Hukuku, geç dönem Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda arz ettiği öneme rağ- men yeterince çalışılmamış bir konudur. Genel tarih yazımında, politik kurumlar, diplomatik olaylar ya da entellektüel akımlar görece daha çok yer almıştır. Öte yan- dan, yapılan çalışmalarda, ilerleme ve modernliğin Batı, durağanlık ve geri kalmışlı- ğın Doğu ile özdeşleştirilmesi Osmanlı Aile Hukuku araştırmalarını bir ölçüde yanlış yönlendirmiştir. Bu çalışmanın ana amacı, 1917 Aile Hukuku Kararnamesi’nin hu- kuki, politik, sosyo-kültürel eksenlerini incelemek ve yenilenmiş Aile Hukuku hü- kümlerinin geç Osmanlı hukuk kültürü, devleti ve toplumu için uygun olup olmadı- ğını değerlendirmektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Aile hukuku, hukuk kültürü, yirminci yüzyıl, Osmanlı, sicil, modernleşme, reform, evlilik, boşanma. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank my supervisor assistant professor Mehmet Akif Kireçci. I also thank all the committee members for the time and effort they spent reading my thesis, and for their constructive criticism. I feel gratitude for associate professor Evgenia Kermeli, for her encouragement and support even during the most difficult times of my research, and for her contributions to this study. One of the most valuable gains of this research is the friends I have made at Bilkent University. I thank them and my older friends, for sharing the ups and downs and mostly the joys of life, and for the many travels we have made ever since we were very young. For this dissertation, however, I should first thank my father, Şakir Altınbaş, and my mother, Ayşe Altınbaş. During all these years, my parents have never criticized me or my sometimes unattainable ideals, but have only supported me to their capacity, knowing that I would eventually find the “right” path. Without their and my sister Mine Nur Altınbaş’s love and support, I would not be the same person I am, and this dissertation might not be at all. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ………………………………………………………………….. iii ÖZET …………………………………………………………………............ iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...………………………………………………... v TABLE OF CONTENTS …………………………………………………….. vi TRANSLITERATION …...…………………………………………………... xi ABBREVIATIONS ...………………………………………...…………….... xiii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ………………………………….…….…... 1 1.1.

  • Topkapi Palace As a Moral and Political Institutional Structure in the Ottoman Palace Organization
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 7, No. 3; March 2017 Topkapi Palace as a Moral and Political Institutional Structure in the Ottoman Palace Organization Samed Kurban Research Assistant Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Department of Public Administration Dumlupınar University Kutahya/Turkey Abstract The Topkapı Palace is a building built after the conquest of Istanbul, where the Ottoman Empire was ruled and where the sultans and their families resided until the mid-19th century. The palace, which has been in service for a period of about 400 years in the Ottoman Empire's lifetime of six centuries, functions as a living space of Ottoman administration and politics and ethics with the practices, customs and traditions that took place during this period. Therefore, it is a very important reference for the Ottoman State. It must be said that this position is very different from a state or presidential residence existing in modern states. The rules, which have been strictly respected for centuries and the existence of a system that operates on a regular basis, place Topkapı Palace in a privileged position. It is possible to see this characteristic in the organizational structure of Topkapı Palace. Especially the Enderun and Harem constructions, which are located in the third yard within the palace, have very important functions in the Ottoman State regarding the distinction between public and private spaces. In the study, the place where Topkapı Palace has taken as a moral and political institutional structure in the Ottoman State shall be revealed in terms of the three main gates of the palace and the courts that these gates open to.

  • A View of the History of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine
    A VIEW OF THE HISTORY OF THE ISTANBUL FACULTY OF MEDICINE Prof. Dr. Nuran Yıldırım The Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, the Department of History of Medicine and Ethics Attributing the roots of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine to the Fatih Darüşşifa after a great deal of discussion, the 500th anniversary of medical education in Istanbul was celebrated in 1970. The soundest documents showing that medical education was carried out in the Fatih Dârüşşifa were the appointment papers (rüus) of medical students for the dârüşşifa in the 60 years between 1723 and 1783. These nine rüus, which were recently published, clarify that there were positions for six medical students in the dârüşşifa, and that whenever a vacancy came up, a new medical student would be appointed by the chief physician to undergo a systematic medical training. 1-Archival document concerning Ismail Efendi‟s appointment in place of Derviş Mehmet in Fatih Darüşşifa after his death. With the opening of the Süleymaniye Medical Medrese, medical education in Istanbul, which had started with the Fatih Dârüşşifa, became institutionalized. The opening of a medical medrese for the first time in the Ottoman State is accepted as being an important step in our history of medical education. The Süleymaniye Medical Medrese (Süleymaniye Tıp Medresesi) was a medrese for specializing, or a “post-graduate” course, as only students who had completed their classic medrese education could continue. Not only did the physicians that were trained join the scholarly classes, but at the same time they could be qadi or rising even to the level of sheikh-ul-Islam or grand vizier.

  • Christian Allies of the Ottoman Empire by Emrah Safa Gürkan
    Christian Allies of the Ottoman Empire by Emrah Safa Gürkan The relationship between the Ottomans and the Christians did not evolve around continuous hostility and conflict, as is generally assumed. The Ottomans employed Christians extensively, used Western know-how and technology, and en- couraged European merchants to trade in the Levant. On the state level, too, what dictated international diplomacy was not the religious factors, but rather rational strategies that were the results of carefully calculated priorities, for in- stance, several alliances between the Ottomans and the Christian states. All this cooperation blurred the cultural bound- aries and facilitated the flow of people, ideas, technologies and goods from one civilization to another. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Christians in the Service of the Ottomans 3. Ottoman Alliances with the Christian States 4. Conclusion 5. Appendix 1. Sources 2. Bibliography 3. Notes Citation Introduction Cooperation between the Ottomans and various Christian groups and individuals started as early as the beginning of the 14th century, when the Ottoman state itself emerged. The Ottomans, although a Muslim polity, did not hesitate to cooperate with Christians for practical reasons. Nevertheless, the misreading of the Ghaza (Holy War) literature1 and the consequent romanticization of the Ottomans' struggle in carrying the banner of Islam conceal the true nature of rela- tions between Muslims and Christians. Rather than an inevitable conflict, what prevailed was cooperation in which cul- tural, ethnic, and religious boundaries seemed to disappear. Ÿ1 The Ottomans came into contact and allied themselves with Christians on two levels. Firstly, Christian allies of the Ot- tomans were individuals; the Ottomans employed a number of Christians in their service, mostly, but not always, after they had converted.

Yüzyıl Osmanlı Devleti’nin idari ve sosyal alanda büyük değişimlere uğradığı bir çağdır. Devletin yapısal değişiminin yanında sosyal alanda da birçok değişim gözlenir. Bu sosyal değişimlerden biriside müzikal dönüşümdür. Batı müziğinin Osmanlı topraklarında kabul görmesiyle birlikte bu müziğin en mühim sazı (enstrümanı) olan piyano hem Osmanlı Sarayı’nda hem de “Osmanlı kentlisi” arasında Avrupai görünümün ve müzikal estetiğin simgesi olarak yaygınlaşır. Bu değişim rüzgârları Osmanlı kadınını da içine alır. Kadın sultanlar, devlet adamlarının kızları ve hâli vakti yerinde olan aileler özel hocalar aracılığıyla piyano eğitimi almaya başlarlar. Müzikal dönüşüm, kadınların sosyal hayata katılımlarını kolaylaştıracak bir basamak olur. Yetenekli Osmanlı kadını piyano icra etmekteki maharetini gösterir. Gerek saray gerekse toplum içerisinden fevkalade kadın piyano icracıları ve besteciler çıkar. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı müzikal dönüşüm süreci piyano ve piyano icracısı Osmanlı kadınları üzerinden değerlendirilerek sosyal dönüşümün açıklanması amaçlanmıştır.

Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research 3 | Shari'ah: From Diverse Legal Discourse to Colonial Misrepresentation Introduction Just over a century after the Prophet’s passing, Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ, the well-known Persian secretary and vizier to the second Abbasid caliph al-Manṣūr, penned his famous Risāla fī al-Ṣaḥāba (Epistle Concerning the Entourage), advising the ​ ​ ​ ​ caliph on how to confront the political troubles of his caliphate.1 Among his handful of recommendations, Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ suggested that the caliph codify the growing corpus of what constituted Islamic law. Although the Caliph al-Manṣūr did not ultimately undertake Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ’s proposal, he did have another idea: why not simply use the respectable Imam Malik’s legal compendium, al-Muwaṭṭaʾ , ​ as a standardized legal code?2 When the caliph summoned Imam Malik to propose this idea, however, Imam Malik did not hesitate to reject the proposition.

    TARİHİN PEŞİNDE THE PURSUIT OF HISTORY ‐ULUSLARARASI TARİH ve SOSYAL ARAŞTIRMALAR DERGİSİ‐ ‐INTERNATIONAL PERIODICAL FOR HISTORY AND SOCIAL RESEARCH‐ Yıl: 2014, Sayı: 12 Year: 2014, Issue: 12 Sayfa: 83‐117 Page: 83‐117 SÜRGÜNDEN VATANA: OSMANLI HANEDANININ GERİ DÖNEN İLK ÜYELERİ (1924‐1951) Cahide SINMAZ SÖNMEZ* Özet 3 Mart 1924 tarihinde Halifeliğin kaldırılmasıyla beraber Osmanlı Hanedanı üyeleri de süresiz bir şekilde sınır dışı edilmişlerdir. Sürgüne giden hanedan mensuplarının pek çoğu bu durumun kısa sürede son bulacağı ümidiyle ülkeyi terk etmişler, ancak dönüş süreci beklenenden uzun sürmüştür. Kadınlar 16 Haziran 1952 tarihinde çıkarılan özel bir kanunla dönüş izni alırken, erkekler ise 15 Mayıs 1974 tarihli Genel Af yasasının 8. mad‐ desiyle geri dönebilmişlerdir. Ancak, 1952 yılına kadar yasağın devam ediyor olmasına rağmen bazı istisnai uygulamalar yaşanmıştır. Bu araştırmanın konusunu da 3 Mart 1924 tarihinden 16 Haziran 1952 tarihine kadar geçen süre içerisinde yaşanan istisnai örnekler oluşturmaktadır.

A great majority of the dynasty members left the country with the hope that deportation would end soon, but the process of returning back to the country has lasted longer than expected. Female members of the dynasty have acquired the right to return with a special law issued on June 16, 1952 while the male members of the dynasty were able to return with the 8th article of the General Amnesty issued on May 15, 1974.
