Scandalous statements in the book "Women and Family Catechism" (Kadın ve Aile İlmihali), written by Dilaver Selvi, a faculty member in the Department of Sufism at Marmara University's Faculty of Theology and published by Semerkand Publications, which is affiliated with the Menzil Community, have drawn attention.
According to a report in Birgün, the book states that children can be married off, noting: "The marriage of children who have not reached puberty is valid with the permission of their guardians and their personal presence at the wedding. The man and woman to be married must have reached the age of puberty." Other topics covered in the book include the claim that women must obtain permission from their husbands to use public transportation and may only take a taxi in cases of necessity.
Under the guise of a "compassionate slap," the book also legitimizes violence with the words, "Sometimes a slap can turn someone heading toward hell toward heaven."
Regarding marriage, the following statements were included:
"If a man is entering into a second marriage, his first wife should meet this with understanding, assist the man for the sake of Allah, and not oppose him.
Some men are very strong and excessively desirous in terms of lust. If the husband is like this while the wife is reluctant and sexually cold, the man should enter into a second marriage and treat both wives justly.
If a woman cannot have children, it is normal for the father to enter into a second marriage without divorcing his first wife for the continuation of his lineage.
In countries that have legalized monogamy, men do not actually settle for one woman and establish forbidden and secret relationships, which causes great destruction to the family, society, and the individual's morality.
"The man saying 'I accept' in response to the woman saying 'I have married myself to you' is sufficient for the marriage."
