- Abstract:
- Based on survey data, the study examines young people's views on traditional forms of marriage, specifically matchmaking (*gelin tovma*) and arranged marriages. It assesses the extent to which patriarchal attitudes persist in partner selection under the influence of older relatives. The study demonstrates that the institution of arranged marriages is a significant factor in the transformation of the modern Turkmen family, evolving from a rigid, archaic model into a hybrid form where the opinions of the bride and groom are taken into account but remain subject to parental approval.
