dc.description.abstractThroughout the history, wars have continued between communities due to many reasons such as the instinct to protect their existence, the inequity in income distribution, and distorted relations based on interests. Wars based on aforementioned reasons were frequently experienced in Arab communities of J?hiliyya. The wars mostly manifest themselves in the form of raiding enemy tribes or hand-to-hand combat in order to seize the limited number of water resources due to the harsh and arid desert conditions of the Arabian Peninsula. There are also women among those, who are captured during raids and wars. In particular, women from prominent families are targeted to be used as leverage in the future prisoner exchange negotiations. The women of the elite class, who live in prosperity in palaces or mansions, unexpectedly find themselves captured by the enemy leaving behind tearful children, parents and relatives. What are the fates and treatments that await the women who are held captive during raids or wars? This study aims to bring to light the reflections of the fate of the women who were captured during the raids and wars as well as the treatment they were subjected to on the Arabic poetry of J?hiliyya. In this respect, the relevant couplets belonging to the Arab poets of the J?hiliyya period constitute the basis of the study. The the poet reflects the culture of the environment he lived in, the events he witnessed and his feelings about the events in the couplets. The study is important in terms of revealing the negative stiuation caused by wars in the age of J?hiliyya through the depictions of captive women in poems. Scanning, classification and analysis methods were used in the study. © 2024 Ankara University, Journal of the Faculty of Divinity. All rights reserved.
