How old were women and men at first marriage in late Ottoman Palestine – and how large was the spousal age gap?
Sarah and Johann Buessow analysed Ottoman marriage registers from Gaza and Jerusalem. Their findings: child marriage was widespread but varied by region. Marriage age reflects not only education and military service — but also deep-rooted gender inequalities 👇
"Between the 1850s and World War I, about one million #NorthCaucasianMuslims fled to the #OttomanEmpire. Some, like the #Circassians, ran from a Russian perpetrated genocide. Others, like #Chechens, #Dagestanis, and others the violence of #RussianColonization."

Beginning with its census campaigns in the late 19th century, the Ottomans sought to identify all subjects of the Sultan, males, females, and children. In contrast, earlier surveys only registered adult males for the purpose of military conscription and taxation.
