Our work consists of three chapters and two appendixes, namely an introduction and conclusion. In the Chapter I, the difference between exegesis (tafseer) and interpretation (ta'vil) is dealt with. In addition to this, we also studied on such as the terms "text," "the owner of the text," "interpreter," "the methods of interpretation" and, their influences over the interpretation along with their statues, moreover their roles upon the reflections done by socio-cultural environment. In the end, we found that the nature of the elements cited above and their relations makes the interpretations different, and that by this way socio- cultural environment has its great change-rates over the interpretations. In the Chapter II, we tried to introduce some very important trends mainly happened in Turkey, which have intended to comprehend the Holy Qur'an dealing such as the matter of the translating the Qur'an, the scientific exegesis of the Qur'an, the historical reading of the Qur'an, tradition (Sunnah) in the interpreting the Qur'an, the effects of the rationalism over the Qur'an interpretations etc. In the last Chapter, we study that how were some socio-cultural developments and changes reflected on the interpreting some several verses dealing with woman. In conclusion it is observed that socio-cultural environment made much more effects upon the interpretations of the verses mentioning of the creation of woman, her veiling, the posture of woman in family and in public, her witness in judgement, her portion for the inherited heritage, multi-coupled-marriage and divorcement. We find out that, to achieve this reality, it was heavily influenced by the fact that such interpretations had been different from the classical interpretations, and also we saw that these interpretations are the parellel with the recent expressions about that and the interpretations are in contradiction with the methodologies of the interpretation.
