    An analysis of Islamic holy scriptures in terms of patriarchy
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2020) Erkan, Mustafa Serdar; Kabasakal, Hayat
    ABSTRACT: In this thesis, after the definition, structure and foundations of patriarchy were explained according to various sources, the patriarchal nature of the Qur’an was investigated with the help of a content analyses by reading the Qur’anic verses revealed in Mecca and Medina, and whether this patriarchy gradually and systematically changes according to the chronological revelation order of the verses was examined. Whether Islam at its core is a masculine religion is a controversial subject with differing views. As there are those who argue that Islam is an egalitarian religion that liberates women, there are also those who claim it to be a patriarchal religion which considers women to be second-class compared to men. According to the latter view, men are deemed superior to women in Islam and are given the right to rule over them, leaving women with the duties of giving birth and obeying men. Proponents of both views base their claims on the Qur'an itself. By examining these different views, I tried to reach a conclusion in the second part of thesis about the structure of patriarchy in the Qur'an by analyzing the Qur’anic verses qualitatively on certain issues such as creation, male and female behavioral patterns, marriage, divorce, concubinage, polygamy, veiling of women, testimony, and inheritance by tracing the social events that might affect the formation of patriarchy.
