This time she gambled...and she won.
In Tekirdağ's Süleymanpaşa district, E.D. (30) divorced her
husband of three years because of his online gambling addiction.
The divorce process lasted 10 months, so to finally celebrate her
freedom E.D. dolled-up her car and set out on a "freedom tour"
in the center of town, accompanied by the sounds of Gypsy
folk music.
However (!), in light of communal pressure on divorced women
E.D. donned a mask as she danced around to the music. She
related that "Since communal pressure on women is so extreme
I was even hesitant to celebrate my own freedom. But I wanted to
be an example for others. I'm someone who's very fond of my
freedom but my and my child's welfare suffered so much because
of the squandered money."
Continuing, E.D. lamented that "To be rescued from this marriage
I had to agree to forego alimony, but I preferred my freedom
anyway. And I'm very discomfited by the gossip people spread
about divorced women (hence the mask). Nevertheless, I want
to alert everyone about the dangers of these online gambling
sites that ruined my home. Sometimes these things end in
suicides and murders. Of course, our government is trying to
take some measures but ıt's not enough. Gambling destroyed
my home because we went broke thanks to my husband's
gambling habit."
