Font size

The Constitutional Court (AYM) annulled by majority vote the regulation regarding the indefinite application of poverty alimony given to divorced spouses.

Following the decision, the We Will Stop Femicide Platform (KCDP) made an application for information to the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Family and Social Services, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. The platform requested whether basic data regarding poverty alimony is kept and if so, to be shared with the public.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Justice announced that the legal regulations regarding indefinite alimony are planned to be implemented in October within the scope of the 12th judicial package.

Lawyer Cansu Albayrak, KCDP Istanbul Representative, said, "Poverty alimony is not a 'privilege' given to women, but an assurance to eliminate the economic inequality that may occur. A significant portion of women may move away from working life or their income-earning capacity may decrease due to unpaid care work within marriage. Therefore, reducing alimony only to the question 'How many years will it be paid?' overlooks the economic conditions under which women have to survive after divorce."

Albayrak also said, "Today, "indefinite alimony victimization" is talked about very often, but it is not possible to carry on this discussion in a healthy way without presenting to the public a comprehensive picture showing how many people actually pay alimony for how long and in what amount."

Calling on the ministries, Albayrak said, "Share the data you have with the public. How many people are victims, under what conditions, and at what points the current system does not work; let's reveal these with scientific data."
