Abstract:

In the first part of the family law book of the Turkish Civil Law, a separate part of the divorce is divided. The divorce is the termination of the marriage by a judgment that does not affect the past. In order for divorce to occur, the spouses must appeal mutual or unilaterally while they are right. As with divorce individuals can obtain some rights, they also take some responsibilities. The poverty gap that is often discussed in the public is just one of these rights and duties. The wage of poverty is the wage paid to the spouse who falls in poverty due to divorce. In other words, poverty is the fulfillment of a responsibility for one spouse while the other is right. In order to support each other in difficult circumstances, the family institution, which forms the basis of daily social life, needs a food institution among those who form the family. The poverty gap, although the family union ends with divorce, is arranged to protect the worthy spouse as a result of divorce in the memory of the good days and events. In the implementation of this arrangement with good intention, there is a number of discussions today, especially on the payment period of the food. The main problems under divorce and the other victims after divorce must be examined together and the legal regulations must be reviewed collectively, while it is quite reasonable to go to partial changes in the regulations concerning the period of payment of the poverty fee. This study was prepared to remind that the rights and responsibilities of divorced spouses are not merely poverty and to contribute to the debate on poverty.
