Abstract

Dowry is an economic and social symbol associated with marriage, which is one of its conditions. Its value is determined in the initial agreement prior to the reading of Fatiha. In many societies, the value of dowry is linked to the economic level of the groom’s family. The Tlemceni community has been known to exaggerate the amount of dowry required for marriage, which has led to much debate and controversy among this community member. So what is the cultural background behind the over-dowry in the Tlemceni community? We will try to answer this important question in this research.

Abstract

Çeyiz, evliliğin şartlarından biri olan evliliğin ekonomik ve sosyal bir simgesidir. Pek çok toplumda çeyizin değeri damadın ailesinin ekonomik düzeyiyle bağlantılıdır. Tlemceni topluluğunun evlilik için gereken çeyiz miktarını abarttığı biliniyor ve bu da bu topluluk üyesi arasında pek çok tartışmaya yol açıyor. Peki Tlemceni toplumundaki aşırı çeyizin ardındaki kültürel arka plan nedir? Bu araştırmamızda bu önemli soruyu cevaplamaya çalışmaktadır.
