Abstract :This paper intends to do a sociological analysis of kin marriage, a subject matter of sharp discussions both in Turkish society and in European public. Traditionally, to some extent, practiced and largely approved by the society in Turkey, this type of marriage was opened to discussions during the second half of the last century. The discussions started to be gradually dominated by a medical discourse that focuses on bio-medical results of kin marriage and treats it as a risk factor. Although such views are widely accepted in society, kin marriage insistently keeps its existence. Based on a sociological perspective, this paper aims to analyze the factors leading to the existence of kin marriage despite wide spreading disapproval thoughts and attitudes against it.
