Sexual incompatibility between spouses is not considered a direct reason for divorce, but can be evaluated within the scope of "shaking the foundations of the marriage union" (TMK art. 166).

Sexual Problems

  • Sexual incompatibility
  • Avoiding sexual intercourse (permanent)
  • Sexual abuse/coercion
  • Sexual inadequacy
  • Pure sexual incompatibility is insufficient
  • Together with other elements of incompatibility
  • Evaluation of "shaking the foundation of the marriage union"

Sexual Violence

  • Sexual assault between spouses is a crime (TCK art. 102)
  • 6284 protection order
  • Open for divorce reason

Proof

  • Witness (close family, friend)
  • Health report
  • Message
  • Psychologist's opinion

Supreme Court 2. HD

2. HD adopts that when sexual problems are evaluated as a reason for divorce, "continuity" and "together with other elements of discord" should be examined.

Pecuniary Compensation

  • High moral compensation if there is sexual abuse
  • Attack to the honor of the spouse
  • TMK art.174 + TBK art.49
