In our reputation, the debate on who the gold in weddings belonged to a new dimension gained a new dimension. Given the high court decisions and increasing attorney fees, ironic way, “the gold that attached to the wedding can now be considered a lawyer” comments.

In traditional Turkish weddings, the gold and trappings attached to couples are seen as a guarantee for the capital of the newly established family and the future. However, if the marriages end, the sharing of these trappings has always been the subject of discussion. According to the Supreme Court of Appeals, all the jewelry attached to the bride at the wedding (regardless of the wedding of the wedding and by whom it is stuck) are considered to be a woman. Jews attached to the groom are generally considered the person’s personal property.

However, the increase in divorce cases in recent years and the legal process and lawyers’ fees brought about by these cases began to change the meaning of the jewelry attached at the wedding.

Wedding costs for couples who make preparations for marriage increase every year, while those who want to divorce is under a serious material burden. As well as the marriage process from white goods to furniture, from the wedding hall to jewelry, the divorce process is burning pockets recently. Especially the costs encountered in contentious divorces have reached remarkable levels. Even in the divorce processes without conflict, it is necessary to remove a budget of 200 thousand TL, while in the contentious cases including demands such as custody and sharing of goods, this figure rises up to 500 thousand TL.

“Now it is as costly to demolish it”

Cüneyt Fidan, one of the lawyers of Bursa Bar Association, pointed out the financial dimension of the divorce, “in the past” hard to build the nest, easy to demolish, “but now it became so difficult to destroy. Contemporary divorce case only for the fees and taxes of the 4 thousand TL for the 4 thousand TL. It is growing like, “he said.

Fidan, in some cases, the total cost faced by couples can reach 500 thousand TL, he said. During the marriage, the immovable properties, cars and other goods filed due to other goods increase the material burden of divorce.

The gold that attached at the wedding is no longer the bride nor your groom

Fidan reminded that the golds that are attached at weddings are also the subject of discussion in the divorce process, said the decisions of the Supreme Court of Appeals vary in this regard. “The jewelry attached at the wedding is a woman or a male.
