A woman from Bursa, Turkey, filed for divorce, complaining that her husband spends most of his time at the coffeehouse with friends, leaving her alone on special occasions and social events.
She claimed psychological abuse and that her husband failed to fulfill his responsibilities, covering all expenses herself, and demanded compensation.
The High Court reviewed the case and issued a landmark ruling, stating that regularly spending time at coffeehouses and neglecting one's spouse fundamentally undermines the marital union.
The court found the husband definitively guilty and ordered him to pay material and moral compensation to the woman. This ruling sets a precedent for similar cases.
