Legacy that women according to Ser'iyye Register of Diyarbakır (1739-1800)

Studies on tereke/inheritance records are more common in Turkey among the studies in social history studies recently. Tereke/inheritance records are held down by kadis (Muslim judges) and military qassams. Tereke/inheritance records are in kadi registers in small settlements. At the same time in larger settlements, "Tereke Registers" were private. One of the larger settlements in which tereke registers were private is Diyarbakir. In this study Kadi Registers with the number of 3725, 3744, 3753, 3756, 3757, 3773, 3785, 3796 and recorded by Amid Court are handled. In this study tereke registers of Amid Court of 18th century are examined which belong to 297 women (217 Muslim – 80 non-Muslim) and transcripted by Dicle University. In addition with the help of tereke registers, family structure of tereke-owners, content of terekes, regions, commonly used names, the relation between Muslims and non-Muslims are dealt with. This study also aims to handle the life of women from Diyarbakir in 18th century.
