I just looked up Turkish civil law on marriage and divorce and it is not very different from civil law in western european countries (severe catholic ones exempted). You can divorce on "reasonable grounds" (i.e. there is no future in the marriage), and it is possible to separate "in table and bed" before formal divorce.

The social consequences may be formiddable, but if you want divorce, the law is on your side.

Quoting britturk:

Hi I was just wondering what the "usual" Turkish view on divorce is. Is it frowned upon?? I have a Turkish friend who comes from an Alevi background. He married 2 years ago and has a young baby however he is deeply unhappy in his marriage and has decided he wants to divorce. However his family are putting so much pressure on him to stay with his wife even though he does not want to be with her. He says his culture will not accept divorce. Is this really true??? Any views and opinions appreciated



Yes, very unfortunately it is true, the family and keeping it together is the most important.
So i can tell from my own experience if its a very traditional turkish family that even if a guy is unhappy to death it will not help.
I guess those guyz had to be stronger in a beginning and not getting married at like 20 years old.
So its like that, very sad.. for me anyway.
But life goes on.
