This article critically examines the transformation of the Turkish family structure through three key dynamics: legal reforms during the EU harmonization process, the Istanbul Convention, and the rise of digital communication technologies. Rather than taking a neutral perspective, this study highlights controversial aspects such as societal resistance to legal changes, public debates surrounding gender equality policies, and the ambivalent impact of digital platforms on family interactions. The analysis reveals that while EU-led legal reforms aim to promote equality, their impacts vary across socioeconomic and regional contexts and sometimes exacerbate intergenerational and cultural tensions. Despite their intentions to protect women, the Istanbul Convention has triggered polarized reactions, shaping both men's and women's perceptions of family roles in complex ways. Digital communication technologies further complicate family dynamics by introducing privacy challenges, intergenerational conflicts, and new social pressures alongside increased opportunities for connection. By integrating legal, cultural, and technological perspectives, this article offers a critical understanding of the multifaceted and sometimes contradictory processes affecting contemporary Turkish family life.
