Abstract ABSTRACTThe geography, stretches from Empyreal Turkistan to southwest Asia which is also known as Turkish Eurasia, has shaped a cultural geography with societies which differentiated in terms of their mother tongues and dogma religions throughout the flow of history. The percentage distribution in the demographic structure known as “Turkish Cultural Geography” and the practice on common cultural life has supported this geography. After providing important information on the background of the way of thinking of Turkish public, when we talk about widows, these women, particularly in the countryside are and were believed to be cursed. We can easily exemplify these recognitions from the apothegm, nursery rhymes, acclamation and imprecations of the oral culture. This definition is known as “Widowed Dame” in the Azerbaijan Turkish Cultural Geography. There are many examples of believes that the curse of these women may harm the people in the immediate surrounding or not. One of the examples is that these women are not taken to ask for the girl in marriage. It is not seemed appropriate for them to stir the henna of the bride. It is also possible to give more examples from other parts of life. We will take this topic in hand in our presentment. Keywords: Man; Woman; Widow; Puberty; Menopause
