Under the new regulation that abolishes indefinite alimony, judges will determine the duration of alimony based on the length of the marriage, the economic situation of the parties, and the degree of fault in the divorce. A formula of alimony equal to half the duration of the marriage is also among the options.
Justice Minister Akın Gürlek stated that they will introduce a new regulation regarding indefinite alimony payments that will not upset women, saying, "It is unjust to pay alimony for life after being married for only 1-2 days. Judges will be given discretionary power."
The new regulation stipulates that the economic situation of the parties and fault in determining alimony payments will be crucial. The duration of alimony payments will also be shortened for short-term marriages.
