Famous 90s pop singer Emre Matraş, furious that his name was not mentioned during the wedding ceremony of national football player İsmail Yüksek and Esen Matraş, unleashed a fiery outburst in a video he posted. "I do not accept this marriage, it has no validity for me," Matraş said, adding, "I absolutely do not recognize my daughter Esen's marriage. Because when asked for the father's name, they said 'Anıl.' My daughter's father's name is Emre Matraş. Therefore, I demand an investigation into both the marriage officiant and the mayor."
The "father's name" tension experienced at the wedding of Esen Matraş, who united her life with Fenerbahçe and the National Team's successful footballer İsmail Yüksek, has reached a new dimension.
After Esen Matraş gave her stepfather Anıl Karaer's name, who raised her, instead of her biological father Emre Matraş in response to the question "Your father's name?" at the wedding ceremony, former singer Emre Matraş, to whom all eyes turned, broke his silence. In a video published on social media, Matraş harshly reacted to the wedding and announced that he does not recognize the marriage.
"I DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MARRIAGE OFFICER AND THE MAYOR"
In his statement, Emre Matraş, who stated that he has not used social media for years but opened an account to exercise his right to reply, argued that the marriage is legally and morally invalid. Matraş used the following expressions in his statement:
"I absolutely do not consider my daughter Esen's marriage valid. Because when asked for the father's name, 'Anıl' was given. My daughter's father's name is Emre Matraş. Therefore, I demand an investigation into that marriage officer and the mayor. I left my daughter when she was 8 because we separated from her mother. After the separation, since all of her mother's liens were placed on my assets, I sold them, paid off my debts, and took care of her like a flower."
"İSMAİL SHOULD HAVE COME AND ASKED ME"
Stating that he cannot bear the process as a father, Emre Matraş also reproached the groom İsmail Yüksek, continuing his words as follows:
"I absolutely do not accept this issue, and as a father, I cannot bear it. I demand an investigation into that mayor and the municipality. It has no valid effect for me. İsmail should have come with his family and asked me once; I am her father. The rest is meaningless."
After the name crisis at the wedding table, Emre Matraş's harsh outburst made headlines, and all eyes turned to the young couple's response.
