This thesis analyzes the changing patterns of the institutions of family and marriage in England. The period covers the late medieval ages to the early modern ages until the middle of the eighteenth century, 1753, which represents the acceptance of an important Act on marriage by the English Parliament that ended ambiguities on the law of marriage. This study attempts to investigate the family institution and marriage practices of England, which represented a different character from other European countries throughout the period. Many important historical factors occurred throughout the period, which influenced the family structure and marriage practices such as the Reformation. Within this framework, throughout this thesis, the religious, political, economic and social factors that paved the way for transition in family and marriage will be analyzed.

Construction of central knowledge of family: family structure analysis in Turkey through state surveys 1968, 1988, 2006, 2011 Turğut, Mustafa; Beşpınar Akgüner, Fatma Umut; Department of Sociology (2016) This dissertation analyzes how centralized knowledge about the family has been structured by the state through stitching it between time and space on the topos of society.
