A citizen who applied to the court to end his 3-year marriage in Antalya and whose divorce case lasted 6 years, immediately after getting divorced, made it his first task to sacrifice 8 rams to be distributed to those in need in Tanzania, an African country, for each year he was married.
Mehmet Sıddık Menekşe, who ended his 3-year marriage with a 6-year divorce case in Antalya, fulfilled his vow by sacrificing 8 rams to be distributed to those in need in Africa immediately after his divorce.
DIVORCE CASE LASTED 6 YEARS
37-year-old Mehmet Sıddık Menekşe, who married G.O. in Antalya in 2018, decided to divorce due to incompatibility after 3 years of marriage. The couple's divorce case, which lasted about 6 years at the Antalya 12th Family Court, recently concluded.
SACRIFICED 8 RAMS
On January 14, after the divorce decision was finalized and his 3-year marriage with G.O. came to an end, Menekşe sacrificed 8 rams as a vow to be distributed to those in need in Tanzania, following the 6-year divorce process.
"WE ARE FREE, THANK GOD"
Mehmet Sıddık Menekşe, who came to the Antalya Courthouse to sign the finalization note, said, "We decided to get married in 2018. Our marriage lasted about 3 years; we couldn't get along. After 3 years, we decided to divorce. But we couldn't finalize the divorce for 6 years. Today, thank God, the divorce has happened. We received our finalization and we are free, thank God. In the end, it was for the best for both parties," he said.
Menekşe, who stated that he made a vow to sacrifice if the case had a positive outcome during the long divorce process, mentioned that he sacrificed 8 rams for those in need in Tanzania, saying, "After the divorce, we made our donations to the necessary places. I sacrificed 8 rams in Tanzania. Because we had an 8-year process. My marriage was very short, but my divorce took a long time. As a gratitude for the divorce, we sacrificed a vow animal. I had said this on the first day. I had vowed to ensure that my divorce ended healthily without anyone being hurt, and I sacrificed in Tanzania, thank God," he expressed.
