Bachelor Beware!: comes with lots of screaming kids.
The Turkish Human Rights and Equality Council (TİHEK) has
imposed a 204,285 TL (about $62,000) fine on a holiday village
in Arsuz district of Hatay province for cancelling a bachelor
customer's reservation. (!)
Bachelor E.E. wanted to have a vacation at the "Defterdarlık"
(provincial registrar) Arsuz Training and Relaxation Facility but
his reservation application was rejected because he is single. This
prompted E. E. to seek redress with TİHEK , asserting that this
sort of discrimination against singles was both psychologically
hurtful and illegal.
When TİHEK asked the Hatay "Defterdarlık" for an explanation
the response was that the facility is essentially for families and
that in previous times when bachelors were admitted fights erupted
frequently between families and the bachelors.
However (!), TİHEK, citing existing non-discrimination laws,
rejected the facility's explanation and imposed a fine of 204,285 TL
on the facility.
