Turkey is often considered as a bastion of Islamism, an Islamic country and during Erdogan's leadership the country has reportedly rediscovered her Islamic heritage. Looking at some aspects of Turkish society, like women's rights for example, I discovered that Turkey granted women the right to vote in 1934 much earlier than several European democratic countries like France 1944, Liechtenstein 1984, Monaco 1962 & Switzerland 1971.
Another aspect of Turkish society is that only civil marriages are legal in Turkey and that religious marriages not even Islamic ones are recognised as legally binding. This goes to a secular level beyond most if not all western countries.
