(Hürriyet Newspaper, 19 December 2022)

                        There's this kind of messy...

E.Y. (75), a lawyer famous for representing the famous and a former

public prosecutor himself, married N.Y. in 1974 and they had two 

children together.  Allegedly (!), E.Y. cheated on N.Y. many times 

during their marriage, prompting N.Y. to file for divorce three times

but she was always dissuaded by her children and relatives from 

following through. 

However (!), this time she means it! Allegedly (!), two months ago

E.Y. paid a 400,000 TL (about $21,500) "bride price" in order to 

marry a 23-year-old woman in an "imam nikah" (unofficial religious

marriage) ceremony.  E.Y. is said to have also bought the woman a

car worth 400,000.  Hearing of E.Y.'s new "marriage", N.Y. was 

shocked. 

         ...and this kind (congrats!) 

In the divorce filing in Istanbul's family court, N.Y.'s lawyer stated that 

E.Y. "has been a gambling addict for 40 years and earned 5 million TL 

($268,000) from Bitcoin this year, spending all this money, as always, 

on women and gambling.  My client wants money from E.Y., who 

comes home once every three or five months to see his grandchild.  

E.Y. reacted to this suit by saying that 'young women need money!' and

he proceeded to curse and insult my client.  We want the parties to

agree to a divorce.  We are demanding monthly alimony of 20,000 TL,

one million TL in material and one million TL in emotional 

compensation from E.Y."
