Özet:

 The fact that individuals who cannot be cared for and protected by their families for various reasons are raised in institutional care is stigmatized with negative characteristics in many societies. In patriarchal societies like Türkiye, the fact that the individual receiving institutional care is a woman deepens this stigma. The aim of this research is to reveal how the dominant community, consisting of individuals who sanctify the institution of family and marriage and define women through these institutions, stigmatizes the identity of women raised under the care of the institution when it is associated with the institut ion of marriage. In this research, an in-depth interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to understand how women experience these stigmas that we accept without questioning in daily life and reproduce with our thoughts and attitudes. A semi-structured interview form was used in face-to-face interviews with 20 women who received institutional care. Maxqda 2022 program was used when analyzing the information obtained from the research subjects. In the findings obtained using the thematic analysis technique, four main themes emerged: the social perception of receiving institutional care, and stigmatization experiences before marriage, during marriage and after marriage. It has been determined that women raised in institutional care are exposed to gendered stigmatization in every process they interact with the institution of marriage.

 Ailesi tarafından çeşitli nedenlerle bakım ve koruması sağlanamayan bireylerin kurum bakımında yetişmiş olması pek çok toplumda olumsuz özelliklerle damgalanmaktadır. Türkiye gibi ataerkil toplumlarda, kurum bakımı alan bireyin kadın olması bu damgalanmayı derinleştirmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, aile ve evlilik kurumunu kutsallaştıran, kadını bu kurumlar üzerinden tanımlayan bireylerden oluşan egemen topluluğun, kurum bakımında yetişmiş kadın kimliğini evlilik kurumuyla ilişkilendiğinde nasıl bir damgalamaya maruz bıraktığını ortaya koymaktır. Günlük yaşamda sorgulamadan kabul ettiğimiz, düşünce ve tavırlarımızla yeniden ürettiğimiz bu damgalamaları kadınların nasıl deneyimlediğini anlamak için bu araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden derinlemesine görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Kurum bakımı almış 20 kadınla yüz yüze gerçekleştirilen görüşmelerde yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma öznelerinden elde edilen bilgiler analiz edilirken Maxqda 2022 programından faydalanılmıştır. Tematik analiz tekniği kullanılarak elde edilen bulgularda kurum bakımı almanın toplumsal algısı, evlenmeden önce, evlenme sürecinde ve evlendikten sonra damgalanma deneyimleri olarak dört ana tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Kurum bakımında yetişmiş kadınların, evlilik kurumuyla etkileşime girdikleri her süreçte cinsiyetlendirilmiş damgalanmaya maruz bırakıldığı belirlenmiştir.
