According to the ruling published in the Official Gazette, the Turkish Constitutional Court repealed section 175 of the Turkish Civil Code on the request of the local court. The original text of the provision: “After the divorce, one party will fall into poverty, and there is no greater fault of their own, they can apply for indefinite maintenance from the other party. The amount of alimony is determined by reference to the other party's financial capacity.” The ruling found that the provision was unconstitutional. The abolition will officially take effect nine months later.
