Abstract

Based on narratives, including ‘urban legends’, and Ottoman archival sources, this article deals with prostitution in the Ottoman Empire in view of its legal and judicial treatment according to both Sharia and sultanic law. Ottoman policies towards prostitution included measures and punishments ranging from milder (imprisonment, expulsion, taxation, legalization of brothels) to harsher (death sentence and corporal punishment). Since the Ottoman Empire included territories of a great variety of peoples and local customs the measures applied changed over time and varied across places. The author puts forward the hypothesis that the harshness of punishment depended perhaps also on the impact of conservative religious circles such as the Kadizâdelis and Mujaddidiyah.

如何管理不可管理:不一致的奥斯曼帝国防止卖淫的策略

基于叙述，包括“都市传说”和奥斯曼档案资料，本文根据伊斯兰教法和苏丹法的法律和司法待遇来处理奥斯曼帝国的卖淫问题。奥斯曼帝国对卖淫的政策包括各种措施和惩罚，从较温和的(监禁、驱逐、征税、妓院合法化)到较严厉的(死刑和体罚)。由于奥斯曼帝国包括了各种各样的民族和当地习俗的领土，因此所采用的措施随着时间的推移而变化，各地也各不相同。作者提出了一种假设，即惩罚的严厉程度可能还取决于kadiz delis和Mujaddidiyah等保守宗教界的影响。

期刊介绍： The Turkish Historical Review is devoted to Turkish history in the widest sense, covering the period from the 6th century, with the rise of the Turks in Central Asia, to the 20th century. All contributions to the journal must display a substantial use of primary-source material and also be accessible to historians in general, i.e. those working outside the specific fields of Ottoman and Turkish history. Articles with a comparative scope which cross the traditional boundaries of the area studies paradigm are therefore very welcome. The editors also encourage younger scholars to submit contributions. The journal includes a reviews section, which, in addition to publications in English, French, and other western European languages, will specifically monitor new studies in Turkish and those coming out in the Balkans, Russia and the Middle East. The Turkish Historical Review has a double-blind peer review system.
