Marriage Law
I am a US citizen recently divorced in August 2003 from another US citizen.
I would like to know how Turkish marriage law regards a foriegn divorce if I would be interested in marrying a Turkish citizen under Turkish law. Would the 300 day waiting period for women still be enforced or is the 300 day waiting period for women only enforced under Turkish divorce decrees? If the 300 day waiting period is enforced, what measures need to be taken, if any, to eliminate this waiting period? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. |

EDIT: Although ı am not sure, The "waiting period" shall be considered to be a "public order necessity" and the contrary provisions to Turkish law may not be applied. PS.-Turkish law rules that the 300 day period is a necessity: the woman who is subject to the waiting period shall either prove that she gave birth a child within the said period or a relevant decision was obtained from the Court ordering that the restriction to marry is lifted . |

I am an American military attorney who is putting together a
publication to assist other U.S. military attorneys serving in Turkey based upon my experiences in Izmir for 2.5 years. I am lacking a few citations. If you could provide me with the proper citation to the T.C. Rezmi Gazette with date of publication I would be grateful. The first citation is to the "Law Concerning Foreigners' Privileges and Obligations". The second I have listed as "The Law Regarding Private International Law" that relates to the recognition of foreign decrees in Turkey. The third, I have no reference to, however, I have a note that states that parents may consign children to orphanages temporarily without relinquishing parental rights and may retrieve their children at a later date if family conditions improve. If you could provide me with citations for these statutes, I will be grateful. If you cannot, can you direct me to a source, in English, that could do so. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation. Colonel Mark P. Ort (614) 863-6220 |

What kind of legal help or support you are seeking is not clear to me. If he is over 18, he can do whatever he likes and this includes his rejecting his families wishes or your wishes. If he complies one of these, this is his personal choice and I can not see a legal issue here. |

You have to be married at least 3 years to apply for Turkish Citizenship. After 3 years, you can apply for Turkish citizenship if you prove that you have lived together with your wife during these 3 years.
So, to be a Turkish Citizen: 1) You have to be married for 3 years, 2) You have to live together with your wife during your marriage. 3) You have to apply to the offical concerned after these 3 years. |

At the moment, there is not such an offence in turkey. The articles laying down adultery in the old -but still in effect till April- penal law which were abolished by the Constitutional Court in 1988 was like this: "

Is the 300 day waiting period still in effect? I recently heard from my fiance's Aunt that that rule was abolished, and you can get remarried in as little as 1 day after divorce. Also, is there a residency requirement to get married there? I am planning to fly there in the next couple months on a quickie visit, get married, then fly home alone to start his immigration procedures here, in the US. How long does it usually take from start to finish to obtain a marriage there? A week? Longer?

300 day waiting period is still in the law. but you may not wait it if you can prove that she is not pregnant with a doctor report . When tou have the report , you must go to the court. you don't need generally aresidencde requirement. I cant give you a certain time to finish the marriage procudure.

Hi, I am from Azerbaijan and I am going to marry a turkish man.
Although my previous marriage ended three years ago, my official divorce happened only three months ago. I want to come to Turkey at the end of March to get married. I understand that a required 300 day period is not over yet, but I was told if an appropriate report from the doctor , that will prove I am not pregnant can help to avoid this 300 day period and would allow to get married without waiting. Is that correct? My another question is what document I should have with me, should they be translated in Turkey, or it is possible to translate them here in Azerbaijan, if yes, where they can be validated. Can my husband apply for a marriage himself? Because I work here and can come only for a short period of time, so can he apply for a marriage and myself to come only for the marriage date, how long does it take? Will my daughter (9 years old) be able to get a residence permit, because I am planning to live in Turkey with my future husband, thank you very much, Aydan |

Marriage Law
Hello - I'm English, my Turkish husband and I are legally married(23years), but separated. After 10 years of marriage and living in Turkey, he had told me he was not happy in Turkey, for me to return to the UK and that he would follow later, but he never did and did not allow me to return to Turkey. I am going to file for divorce. Am I entitled under Turkish law for any alimony since I am still his wife?. He has another wife in Turkey whom he married after I left Turkey, but that marriage is not legal, will courts count her as a dependent of his?

Marriage Law
Please someone advice me, married Turkish husband in Australia 11 years ago, 2 years later we moved to Turkey because he got in trouble with the law (was arrested for assault and released on bail, but never returned for his trial hearing).
Even though he was running from the law, I agreed to the move for fear he would go to jail and because by then we had a child. But 3 months after arriving in Turkey, he said he was not happy with me in Turkey and he sent us back, literally disposed of us without even asking me or working out any separation/divorce agreement. I have not seen or heard from him in about 9 years. Do I have any rights to alimony and child support?. I am not certain since we only lived together 2 years,also,can I just divorce him in Australia, will the judgement by an Australian court be enforceable in Turkey, and how would an Australian judge base his decision with respect to financial obligation when my husband will not come to Australia due to his legal problem and would never agree to submit his financial information?. Must I come to Turkey if I want financial support?.I am not rich and don't know that I could afford 2 lawyers...also I would be afraid for my safety in Turkey as he threaten me once and said he would transfer all his money to family members. I did not go after him before because I was able to manage, but recently I lost my job and I need some help until I can get back on my feet. |

Madam
What I understood is your husband married another woman in Turkey and he does not want you go Turkey. First of all double marriage is forbiden according to civil code. So he is unable to marry two woman at the same time. If you or your attornet set up demand for prosecution the prosecution service will commence a investigation on him. Secondly the statue of your husband's new wife depends on few criterias. Whether she knows or able to know that her husaband had already been married before the marriage or during the marriage. |

Marriage Law
Lola: Assuming you had a legal marriage, regardless whether in Turkey, UK, etc., yes, your marriage is valid and recognized in the US,just like Turkey would have recognized the marriage if it had taken place in the US, UK,etc. Even if marriage was not registered in the Estates, you are legally married so ensure you do not remarry without divorcing first, if you do, you would be committing bigamy.
You do not have to go to Turkey for a divorce, you can file from the US and obtain a judgement from an American court, especially since you have no intent of returning to Turkey. Try expertlaw forum, this might be more suitable to your needs. If you are considering an annulment, this would be way more expensive, difficult to prove and lenghty so just file for divorce. I too married a Turkish man (in Turkey) and filed for divorce in the US without any problem. He was deported from the US for visa fraud. Good luck. |

US Marriage to Turkish National
I have known my fiancee online for a little over a month now. He is a Christian Turkish National and proposed marriage - we will be married on Feb. 24th, two months after we met, in the U.S. My question is: his visa expires in June and he wants me to "visit" Turkey to meet his parents. What rights do I have in Turkey as his wife - for example: if he wants to stay in Turkey and not return, how difficult would it be for me to return to the U.S.? Also, could he divorce me in Turkey without giving me any alimony or compensation? In the U.S., would his marriage to me be considered a "marriage of convenience" because of the short time between our initial meeting and marriage? If so, what rights would he and I have under US law - would it decrease his chances of being granted US citizenship or a continuation of his visa?
Thank you. Lots of questions. |

Divorce
Dear lawyers,
I am a Norwegian citizen who married a Turkish citizen in Ankara in 1992. We have been living in the Netherlands since we got married. Now we are getting divorced. My (ex)-husband has been working for an international organization in Nl for more than 20 years. I have been a housewife since we got married. We rent a house in NL and do not have any property here. My (ex)-husband has sent all the money that he has saved to Turkey and he would never let me know what he has done with the money, whether he is keeping it in a bank, if he has invested in real estate etc. What rights do I have in Turkey as his wife? Are there any real estate registries, other registries, tax directorate, banks etc. where I can get information about his investments and financial situation? I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible. Kind regards Anita Ozer |
