Turkish Court of Cassation: The husband who neglects household shopping tasks is guilty in divorce cases
The Turkish Court of Cassation issued a decision considered a judicial precedent, in which it deemed a husband guilty in a mutual divorce case after it was proven that he neglected to purchase kitchen needs and constantly criticized his wife’s food, describing it as “poisoned.”
A couple suffering from severe marital disputes filed a mutual divorce lawsuit before the Family Court.
The plaintiff husband claimed that his wife began mistreating him after the birth of their shared child, as she insulted him, insulted him, called him offensive words, refused to serve him food, and even put a lock on the refrigerator, forcing him to buy a second refrigerator. He demanded divorce, child custody, and material and moral compensation worth 50,000 liras for each of them.
On the other hand, the defendant wife rejected these allegations, and said that her husband despised and insulted her daughters from a previous marriage, and did not even attend their two wedding ceremonies. She added that he constantly criticized her food, telling her that she was “ignorant and did not understand” and describing her food as “poisoned,” demanding that the husband’s lawsuit be rejected and her counterclaim accepted, while granting her custody of the child and monthly maintenance for him and her, in addition to material and moral compensation.
