Ali Güven (65, and whose surname means 'trust') lives in Bayramiç
district of Çanakkale province. Four years ago, his wife of 30 years,
Münire Güven, passed away and Ali bey decided to sell the land she
left for 35,000 TL (about $4,500) in order to find a new bride for
himself.
Güven, who suffers from KOAH, a lung disease, took up residence
in the home of a charitable person who asked for no rent. A friend
suggested a woman named Gülay Ş. as a possible match for Ali bey
so he went to Izmir's Selçuk district to meet his prospective bride.
They hit it off (!) and returned to Bayramiç together.
But marital candidate Gülay hanım wanted gold as a condition for the
betrothal, forcing Ali bey to use the money from the sale of Münire
hanım's land to buy her some. Ali bey then gave Gülay Ş. the gold and
some money to make marriage preparations.
However (!), as the couple approached Selçuk, Gülay hanım told
Ali bey "you wait here. I'm going to pick up a few things for myself
and then come back." Ali bey waited for hours but Gülay hanım never
returned. So he went back to Bayramiç, where he and the friend who
suggested Gülay hanım filed a criminal complaint against her with
the Bayramiç public prosecutor.
