The Court of Cassation's 2nd Civil Chamber found the husband to be "fully at fault" in a divorce case, as he delayed the wedding ceremony after the official marriage and exhibited jealous behavior, despite the wife's wishes. The court ruled that the man must pay the woman 15,000 lira in moral compensation.
In a divorce case filed mutually in Burdur, the woman stated that after their official marriage on June 10, 2021, they wanted to set a wedding date, but the man's side was reluctant to do so, finding various excuses.
WOMAN FILED A LAWSUIT SAYING "NO WEDDING"
The woman, stating that they could not establish a family unit by having a real wedding, noted that the wedding was canceled at her husband's request. She claimed that her husband was very jealous, even using excuses to insult her when she went out, and requested a divorce due to the fundamental disruption of the marriage union and 100,000 lira in moral compensation.
The husband expressed that he did not avoid having a wedding, stating that he did everything he could to establish a family life and have the wedding as soon as possible, but the other side did not show the same care. The husband demanded 30,000 lira in moral compensation.
THE COURT FOUND THE HUSBAND "FULLY AT FAULT"
The Bucak 2nd Family Court, which heard the case, found the man "fully at fault" for delaying the wedding ceremony and exhibiting jealous behavior, indicating that he was in a decisive position regarding the wedding and marriage decision, and ruled for the parties to divorce.
HE WILL PAY 15,000 LIRA IN COMPENSATION
The court ruled that the man must pay the woman 15,000 lira in moral compensation. Upon appeal of the decision, the Antalya Regional Court of Appeal 2nd Civil Chamber, which reviewed the case, rejected the appeal on the grounds that the local court's decision was in accordance with procedure and law. The Supreme Court's 2nd Civil Chamber, which made the final decision in the appealed case, also upheld the local court's decision that found the husband fully at fault.
In the chamber's decision, it was stated, "The decision examined on appeal is in accordance with procedure and law based on the mutual claims and defenses of the parties, the documents they relied on, the legal rules applicable to the dispute, the qualification of the legal relationship, the conditions of the case, the rules of trial and evidence, and the reasons stated in the decision, and the reasons put forward in the husband's appeal petition were not deemed sufficient to necessitate the annulment of the decision."
