When social media is the matchmaker...
In Adana, realtor Çağlar Gökgül (36) and Dilek Gökgül (31)
met on social media and wed six months ago, holding a formal
wedding for friends and relatives 3 weeks ago. On 24 June,
the couple argued about Çağlar bey's drinking problem and he
beat her in their Sarıçam flat before throwing Dilek hanım off
the sixth floor balcony (!).
Fortunately, Dilek hanım first landed on an awning that broke
her fall but, nevertheless, she is paralyzed from the waist down.
Dilek hanım related her travail, as follows:
"I asked him why he drinks and although he promised me he
wouldn't, he continued to. On the night of the incident I was
sitting at a table and he in a chair. He insisted that he would
drink every day and began beating me. I fled to another room
but he caught me, dragged me to the balcony and threw me off.
I grabbed onto the balcony guardrail and hung there for a few
moments but ultimately I fell."
"I don't remember what happened next. He claims I tried to
commit suicide (!). Since he's a realtor he has a wide circle
of friends in Adana, whereas I'm from Burdur and have no one
here to support me. His family is threatening me, rather than
helping me. Now I'm bedridden here in Adana. Many, many
women in this country have been thrown from balconies and
accused of suicide - I didn't die and will press on with the
legal battle."
Dilek hanım's "suicide" failed, but she's paralyzed.
