He recorded his wife as 'Chubby' on his phone! The Supreme Court found the man to be seriously at fault

A divorce case heard at Uşak's 3rd Family Court has set a precedent due to the parties' mutual claims and the Supreme Court's decision. The woman filed for divorce under Article 166 of the Turkish Civil Code, citing "the fundamental deterioration of the marriage union," while the man filed a counterclaim alleging his wife's adultery.

"HE RECORDED IT ON HIS PHONE AS CHUMBY"

Text messages entered into the case file during the trial revealed the man's behavior toward the woman. According to court records, the man sent his wife messages saying, "My father is sick, he needs surgery, give me money. Go away, I don't want to see your face. Let the devil see your face." He also recorded his wife in his phone book as "fatbik." The court deemed this behavior to be economic and emotional violence against the woman.

NO EVIDENCE FOUND FOR THE ADULTERY CLAIM

The court rejected the man's allegation of adultery. The reasoning stated that there was no concrete and clear evidence to support this claim. It emphasized that the woman's claim of being in the same house with another man could only be explained by the mere fact that she "brought books," and that there was no confession or evidence to support the sexual act.

The Supreme Court of Appeals reviewed the case and compared the parties' faults. The decision stated that the woman's social media posts could be considered "disruptive behavior," but they were not significant enough to affect the divorce outcome. The man's insulting remarks, financial pressure, and degrading behavior were deemed gross negligence .

Compensation and Alimony will be recalculated

The Supreme Court of Appeals rejected the man's lawsuit alleging adultery and upheld the divorce decision on the grounds that the marriage had been "broken to its very foundations," in accordance with Article 166 of the Turkish Civil Code. The Supreme Court ruled that the woman was less at fault and awarded her pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages .

In addition, considering the needs of the child and the economic situations of the parties, it was stated that the determined child support was insufficient and it was decided that the amount of alimony be re-evaluated.
