Özet:

Turkish Civil Law Act No.11 states that "maturity begins after the end of age 18". Each marriage before age 18 is called as; early marriage, child marriage or forced marriage. The girls in these marriages are called as child bride... Whether the statement of "Youngs older than age 15, can be stated as; "mature" by own request or guardian's acceptance" exist in the Turkish Civil Act, a child is still a child by its nature. Cause and effects of child bride fact, which has become regular by means of male dominant expression, religion practices, tradition, customs, honour and morals in society, is reviewed in this study according to the base of Lal Gece movie that is analysed through a qualitative content analysis. Lal Gece movie was chosen because of examining chid bride concept, which spreads country-wide without reducing to a specific region, by means of the character's psychology comprehensively in the limitation of nupital chamber. The movie which starts with child bride tragedy, demonstrates honor and custom killings through the end of the movie. By doing so audience faces with the fact that groom is the victim of male dominant pressure as well as bride.
