Abstract

Most of the works on social and economic position of women in the Ottoman Empire have been based on Ottoman Court Records. Therefore, in this study, which deals with women, our main archival sources are Balikesir court records. The cases dealing with the crimes committed against women as found in the 17th century Balikesir court records are examined. The aim of this paper is to explore the crimes against women and reactions of women, of their relatives or of the society against the criminals. It is not my intention to produce a statistical table for crimes against women. Rather I would like to attempt to identify how women reacted in cases of crime against themselves and how they were present in the courts.

Key Words: Women, Ottoman State, Rape, Women, Balikesir Court Records (Seriye Sicilleri).

Oz

Osmanli Devleti'nde kadinin sosyal ve ekonomik durumu uzerine yapilan calismalarin buyuk bir cogunlugu resmi kayitlar olan Seriye (1) Sicillerine dayanmaktadir. Bu nedenle kadinlan ele aldigimiz calismamizda temel kaynak Seriye Sicilleridir. XVII. Yuzyil Balikesir Seriye Sicillerine yansiyan davalar ele alinarak kadinlara yonelik islenen suclar incelenmistir. Calismanin amaci ise kadin tarihinin sadece bit kesitini olusturan kadinlara yonelik suclari ele almak ve bu suclara karsi kadinlarin, onlarin ailelerinin ve toplumun tepkilerini ortaya koymaktir. Bu acidan baktigimizda amacimiz kadinlara karsi islenen suclara dair istatistik cikarmak degildir. Sadece kadinlarin kendilerine karsi yoneltilen sarkintilik ve hatta tecavuz gibi suclarda varlik gosterip gosteremedikerini irdelemek ve mahkemedeki konumlarini tespit etmeye calismaktir.

Anahtar kelimeler: Osmanli Devleti, kadin, tecavuz, Balikesir, Seriye Sicilleri

Osmanli donemi kadin tarihi uzerine yapilan inceleme ve arastirmalarda Osmanli Devleti'nde kadinin gerek davali gerekse davaci olarak etkin bir rol oynadigi sonucuna varilmis ve Osmanli toplumunda kadinlarin ekonomik, kulturel, dini, sosyal ve politik alanlarda etkin olduklari gozlemlenmistir. (2) Bu calismalarda orta sinifa mensup kadinlarin, mahkemelerden daha fazla yararlandiklari gozlenirken, ust sinifta yer alan kadinlarin mahkeme kayitlarinda daha az yer aldiklari tespit edilmistir. Cunku ust sinifa mensup kadinlarin anlasmazliklarinin, mahkeme kayitlarina yansimadan, statuleri itibariyle aile icerisinde cozumlenmis olmasi ihtimali oldukca yuksektir. Daha alt siniftan olanlarin ve geliri az olan bir kisim azatli kolelerin ise mahkeme masraflarinii karsilayamamalan nedeniyle daha az mahkemeye basvurduklari gorulmektedir (Zarinebaf-Shahr, 2000:241).
