What is kurdish culture like?

Question

Do they think women are second to men or what?

Answer 1

Kurdish culture is interesting and often maligned. They are an ancient people who have developed and maintained their own identity more than most in this century because of their relative isolation. They are (generally) more liberal than their immediate neighbours.  

Answer 2

Feudal, as of now.

Women are secondary, they have to marry whoever the male members of the family think appropriate, they may be killed if they donot obey or if they fall in love with some other guy and/or elope. Sometimes they get killed even if they are raped. The society forces the family to act like this, isolating them and making life unlivable if they don't.

But I have to say, this is valid for the rural part of the ethnicity. The urbanized part get a better education and are far more enlightened.

So, we can safely say that the feudal traditions are regional rather than ethnic.

Answer 7

Kurdish are mostly Shea Muslim.

Even that he or she will have to follow in the Name of Allah the Koran most of times the religion of Islam gets mixed up with local tradition .

One most read the Koran and follow it if you not read the Koran about how women is treated in Islam then please do and you be surprised what the Koran say about Women.

Answer 8

The place of women in kurdish culture isn't something to be envied. Woman is to only cook and reproduce offspring. Rural Kurdish families usually have many children, they make children work at an early age to make them bring money instead of sending them to school. The ones living in cities, the ones who has educated themselves are a bit better, but still, more or less, they bear the culture in their characters. I know what I'm talking about, because a close friend of mine is half Kurdish half Circassian. Marriage among cousins is very common, which is why, unfortunately, you see many kids with genetic diseases in the East. Indeed, it really does seem their culture is too "ancient", that is to say too ancient for the 21st century.
