Repeating a survey that KONDA had conducted in 2003, this survey both follows up on the percentage of veiled women compared to 5 years ago and also takes a snapshot of religious practices and the place of religion in daily life. Issues such as serving alcohol during Ramadan, women shaking men’s hands, religious and civil marriage, sharing of inheritance are touched upon. One eye-catching finding in the survey is that the percentage of wearing turban, unlike many practices in society and unlike other methods of covering up (or not), is not affected by demographic characteristics such as education, income, urbanization and displays quite a different character.
The report was published in December 2007 in the Milliyet daily.
