It is known that studies are carried out in certain societies regarding the reasons for the occurrence of lie-telling behavior, which is one of the most important parts of human sociability. Nevertheless, studies on the reasons for lying of adults in Turkey appear to be insufficient. For this reason, the present study aimed to reveal the reasons for lying of adults in Turkey. A total of 75 people aging between 19 and 46 (Mage= 26.84) participated in this study. Participants were given a question form that had four open-ended questions prepared to reveal the reasons for self-benefiting and other-benefiting lying. The content analysis method, one of the qualitative analysis techniques, was used to analyze data. Findings showed that privacy, interference in autonomy, face-saving, fruition, avoiding a negative situation, hiding the truth and evading were the most common reasons for the self-benefiting lying. On the other hand, preventing harm, protecting others, making others happy, politeness, and preventing relationship breakdown were the most common reasons for the other-benefiting lying. Each reason for lying was discussed in comparison with the international literature and suggestions for future studies to be conducted in Turkey on this issue were presented.

Legal Processes

The weaknesses of the enforcement and execution of a court order always become the reason for noncompliance with court orders issued by the Syariah Court. In other words, the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms enhances compliance with orders issued by the Syariah Court. Many looked at the weaknesses of enforcement as the weaknesses of the Syariah court as the agency for implementing justice and thus undermining the position of the Islamic law. However, very little attention has been given in the literature as regards what constitutes the mechanism of enforcement and execution of a maintenance order in the Syariah Court. Hence, the purpose of this article is to examine the mechanism used pertaining to non-compliance maintenance orders. The content analysis approach was used as it is appropriate to identify the mechanism used by the selected Syariah courts in settling the enforcement and execution cases. Through the content analysis method, the background of the cases as well as the approach of the court players were identified, respectively. The data from the study then were presented in descriptive form to explain the frequency and the percentage of variables studied. The study suggests that the process of giving judgment relating to maintenance should be improved. In addition, the assimilisation between non-legal and legal processes should be well organised to ensure the effectiveness of the enforcement and execution processes. The weaknesses found should be addressed in future studies to identify the best method for better implementation. ABSTRAKKelemahan-kelemahan di dalam penguatkuasaan dan pelaksanaan sesuatu perintah mahkamah sentiasa menjadi penyebab kepada ketidakpatuhan terhadap perintah-perintah mahkamah yang dikeluarkan oleh Mahkamah Syariah. Dalam ertikata lain, keberkesanan mekanisma penguatkuasaan meningkatkan pematuhan terhadap perintah yang dikeluarkan oleh Mahkamah Syariah. Kelemahan penguatkuasaan dilihat sebagai kelemahan Mahkamah Syariah itu sendiri sebagai sebuah agensi untuk melaksanakan keadilan yang mana turut memberi kesan kepada undang-undang Islam. Walaubagaimanapun, tidak banyak literatur yang membincangkan mengenai apa yang dikatakan sebagai mekanisma penguatkuasaan dan pelaksanaan perintah berkaitan nafkah di Mahkamah Syariah. Oleh itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji mekanisma yang digunakan sekiranya berlaku ketidakpatuhan terhadap perintah-perintah berkaitan nafkah. Pendekatan analisis kandungan digunakan kerana ianya sesuai bagi mengenalpasti mekanisma yang digunakan oleh Mahkamah-mahkamah Syariah terpilih dalam menyelesaikan kes-kes berkaitan penguatkuasaan dan pelaksanaan. Melalui metode ini, latarbelakang kes dan juga pendekatan pegawai-pegawai mahkamah dikenalpasti. Data yang diperolehi daripada kajian kemudiannya dibentangkan dalam bentuk deskriptif bagi menjelaskan frekuensi dan peratusan varians yang dikaji. Kajian mencadangkan bahawa proses bagaimana sesuatu perintah berkaitan dengan nafkah itu dikeluarkan hendaklah dipertingkatkan. Seterusnya, asimilasi di antara proses bukan perundangan dan perundangan sepatutnya lebih tersusun untuk memastikan keberkesanan proses penguatkuasaan dan pelaksanaan. Kelemahankelemahan yang dikenalpasti hendaklah dinyatakan di dalam kajian akan datang bagi mengenalpasti metode yang terbaik bagi pelaksanaan yang lebih baik.
