If a husband likes other women, it's grounds for divorce, ruled a Turkish court

The Court of Cassation of Turkey ruled that liking photos of members of the opposite sex on social media can be considered grounds for divorce.

This is reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Haber Turk.

The court determined that a man who likes photos of other women "undermines trust" in the relationship. This conclusion is contained in the decision on the case of a couple from Kayseri, where both spouses filed mutual divorce claims.

The woman claimed that her husband humiliated her, did not allocate money for household needs, liked photos of other women, and was unfaithful. In response, the husband complained that his wife insulted his father, showed excessive jealousy, and left what he considered offensive comments on social media.

The court of first instance concluded that the breakdown of the marriage occurred mainly due to the husband's fault. He appealed the decision, after which the case was reviewed by the court of appeal, which also found him guilty, indicating that liking other women's photos indeed undermined trust.

Subsequently, the case reached the Court of Cassation, which left the decision unchanged. The woman was awarded 30,000 lira in material compensation and the same amount for moral damage. In addition, the former husband is obliged to pay her alimony in the amount of 1,000 lira, although the woman herself demanded 500,000 lira in compensation and 5,000 lira in alimony.

Haber Turk notes that after this decision, spouses in Turkey will have to be more careful about liking photos of members of the opposite sex.
