Consanguineous Marriage and Marital Adjustment in Turkey

Hürol Flsloglu

Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between consanguineous marriage and marital adjustment in Turkey. Despite the fact that most studies emphasized the negative genetic effects of consanguineous marriage, a group of people in Turkey still prefer this type of marriage. In addition to the relationship between consanguineous marriage and marital adjustment, extended family relations were also studied. The Dyadic Adjustment Scale and Extended Family Relationship Form were administered to 150 married individuals (75 female and 75 male). Of the participants, 68 were in a consanguineous marriage and 82 nonconsanguineous marriage. The sample was selected by purposive sampling. The result showed that the consanguineous marriage group had significantly lower marital adjustment and had more conflict with extended family than the nonconsanguineous marriage group. The finding is discussed in the context of research and practice.
