Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the family life of women forced to migrate from Syria to Turkey. The data of the research was collected as a result of face-to-face interviews with 200 women living in Ankara, forced migrating from Syria in 2011 and after, under temporary protection, aged 18 and over, currently married or with marriage experience. In the study, it was determined that women had conflicts with their spouses mostly on '' financial situation or unemployment '' (42.9%), with their children on '' the boy not being docile and obedient” (38.7%), with their spouse's family and/or their own family on “preventing participation in decisions” (21.3%). As a result of the findings of the study, required recommendations were made to the immigrants and the related institutions and organizations.
