TRTurkey plans to introduce new legislation addressing indefinite alimony payments as part of a judicial reform package, according to Justice Minister Akın Gürlek. The reforms are expected to be presented in October as the second part of the 12th Judicial Package, which includes between 24 and 25 provisions. The changes follow a June 4 ruling by Turkey's Constitutional Court that annulled a provision allowing indefinite alimony payments, prompting the need for a new legal framework on spousal support. Under current law, spouses facing poverty after divorce may receive indefinite financial support based on the other spouse's means. The reforms aim to address issues faced by lawyers and improve judicial efficiency. Gürlek emphasized the importance of a strong legal system for Turkey's development goals and criticized Western double standards in human rights responses.
