Abstract

Golan-Nadir explores the second case study, the case of Turkey, which reveals an intriguing political phenomenon, namely, the ability of institutional designs to endure over time despite diverging preferences of the majority of the population. The Turkish Case—Turkey’s Formation of Secular State Institutions—begins with the examination of the Turkish institutional formation at state building (1923), while indicating that since statehood the Turkish marriage policy has been governed by a secular monopoly, which allowed civil marriage as the only statutory option. It shows it was initiated as part of the secular revolution at state building. Finally, the chapter demonstrates the legislative stagnation on marriage policy in the seven decades since Turkey established a democratic political system, as reflected through TBMM law-making and other parliamentary procedures.
