I think that it ia a taboo subject in Turkey. Women/men fearing the family.Prefer to suffer than to divorce.

I know a girl who wants to get a divorce, since her man decided to live with another woman. However, she lives with her mother-in-law, has a young baby and another young child, she doesn´t have any education, and can´t survive on her own. Her own family won´t "take her back" so she can´t get a divorce, because she would simply end up on the street.

 

I also know of another woman in Turkey who did get a divorce, but she was able to get her own job and take care of her children by herself. A position that not all women have.

The word "suffer" isn´t the exact word to be used here, and "fearing" is not the exact word as well. Some reasons of staying under marriage despite being not fine in it:

- Caring about the "family" as an important identity.

- Keeping the small family united for the goodness of the kids, as most parents prefer to devote their own lives for their kids than to follow their own needs.

- Some care about the general image of divorced couples, as divorce would mean in most cases "the failure" in getting united with another person and having a family.

- Considiring some problems not worthy to break the marriage

In some cases it is really suffering... I´ve seen a case with my own eyes, and it made me so thankfull for the choices and options I´ve been given in my life. Being able to take care of myself, and not having to rely on a man to pay the bills.
