The gross marriage rate in Turkey seems quite high compared to other OECD countries, roughly as high as the United States with a crude marriage rate of 7 per 1,000 as of 2019,<ref>https://www.oecd.org/social/family/SF_3_1_Marriage_and_divorce_rates.pdf</ref> a rate that has subsequently declined in light of the [[COVID-19]] pandemic.<ref>https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/marriages-divorces-down-in-turkey-in-2020-tuik-162688</ref> | The gross marriage rate in Turkey seems quite high compared to other OECD countries, roughly as high as the United States with a crude marriage rate of 7 per 1,000 as of 2019,<ref>https://www.oecd.org/social/family/SF_3_1_Marriage_and_divorce_rates.pdf</ref> a rate that has subsequently declined in light of the [[COVID-19]] pandemic.<ref>https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/marriages-divorces-down-in-turkey-in-2020-tuik-162688</ref> | ||
The crude marriage rate in turkey seems to be on a downward trend in general, according to figures compiled by the Turkish Statistics Institute (TÜİK), perhaps pointing to an increase in subsequent involuntary celibacy in the nation.<ref>https://turkstatweb.tuik.gov.tr/PreHaberBultenleri.do?id=33708</ref> | The crude marriage rate in turkey seems to be on a downward trend in general, according to figures compiled by the Turkish Statistics Institute (TÜİK), perhaps pointing to an increase in subsequent involuntary celibacy in the nation.<ref>https://turkstatweb.tuik.gov.tr/PreHaberBultenleri.do?id=33708</ref> | ||
Owing to Turkey's high social conservatism (at least compared to Western countries) the ability to achieve marriage is likely a major factor in determining involuntarily celibacy in the country. Thus, it is important to note that arranged and even forced marriages are still quite common in Turkey, especially in more rural areas and the highly socially conservative eastern regions of Anatolia,<ref>https://www.refworld.org/docid/42df61a92f.html</ref> with a report published by TÜİK finding these types of marriage were more common than free choice marriages, at least among women who married young (≤ 24).<ref>https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/45-percent-of-young-turkish-women-agreed-to-arranged-marriages-in-2016-report-113171</ref> | |||
This would indicate that the causes of male involuntary celibacy would be expected to be somewhat different in Turkey compared to the more sexually permissive Western countries, as somewhat different factors determine mate choice in the context of arranged marriage compared to "love marriages." <ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#A_man.27s_personality_only_matters_to_a_woman_if_he_meets_her_basic_looks_cutoff_first</ref> | This would indicate that the causes of male involuntary celibacy would be expected to be somewhat different in Turkey compared to the more sexually permissive Western countries, as somewhat different factors determine mate choice in the context of arranged marriage compared to "love marriages." <ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#A_man.27s_personality_only_matters_to_a_woman_if_he_meets_her_basic_looks_cutoff_first</ref> | ||
Thus, it is not easy to work out precise figures on the number of sexless individuals in Turkey, apart from sexlessness likely being heavily concentrated among younger Turkish men, similar to trends found in the other countries discussed in this article. | Thus, it is not easy to work out precise figures on the number of sexless individuals in Turkey, apart from sexlessness likely being heavily concentrated among younger Turkish men, similar to trends found in the other countries discussed in this article. | ||
