Interesting Turkish Government Statistics on marriages with foreigners
Hello & Salam Aleykoum good people !
I came across an interesting Turkish government website that provides official statistics, and I wanted to share something curious I found. One of the statistics on the site focuses on marriages between Turkish men and foreign women, categorized by ethnicity and country.
What struck me the most is that Morocco ranks 3rd in this list of countries where Turkish men marry foreign women, ahead of even other Turkic-speaking countries! I thought this was quite surprising and thought you might find it interesting too.
Here's the link to the official site with the full statistics: [ https://data.tuik.gov.tr/Bulten/Index?p=Evlenme-ve-Bo%C5%9Fanma-%C4%B0statistikleri-2024-54194&dil=1 ]
But I’m curious rn, how do you think Moroccan women became so prominent in Turkish marriages ?
