Positions

Deniz Başpınar emphasizes the distinction between arranged marriage and forced marriage . Equating both forms of marriage initiation, as Necla Kelek suggests, testifies to a “Eurocentric view” which “declares the oriental woman to be a victim”. To designate an arranged marriage as a forced marriage is not only objectively wrong, it incapacitates the women involved "according to the motto: You have been forcibly married, you just don't know".
