Abstract:

It can be said that the Ottoman judicial body is in a more seated structure than other social areas in terms of development line. For many years, the rich literature of Islamic Law has been in front of women who have performed the judgment duty in the Ottoman and other Islamic communities. The most educational institutions were also lawyers. There are many orders and guidelines for the dissemination of justice and to be sensitive in this matter in Islamic ways. In the implementation of the material law rules on the case, the procedural provisions perform a very helpful function in the realization of justice. The Ottoman women's agency, which has not been complicated in the process of judgment, the absence of disagreement, the access to evidence and the proper practice of the incident, the procedure of judgment, the registration, with its simple structure, which has taken on important tasks in a long empire period, has passed a great deal in time. The decisions made by the institution, which has also responsibilities in addition to the pre-Tanzimat court, have been recorded in the women's records. Although all of these have not yet come to the exact sunlight, it is clear that it has a mutena place within the Ottoman general system. After Tanzimat, the society, looking to modernization from the window of westernization, rather than working on indigenous values, preferred to rely on the material and procedural laws of the Western states, which it believes to be the priority of it. During this period, together with the various judicial institutions and their procedural provisions, a basically dual and but in its essence partial structure was formed and this situation lasted until the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.
