(Hürriyet Newspaper, 27 June 2026)















    They're happy but divorce lawyers aren't. Bad example.

Sonel Adlin, a department manager at a supermarket in Istanbul, and 
Ayan Adlin, a TIR  truck driver, got married 8 years ago. The couple 
has a daughter named Ecrin, who is now 6 years old.

However (!), the marriage of the couple, initially happy, was allegedly 
shaken to its core due to Ayhan Adlin's constant self-centeredness and 
neglect of his family. Ayhan Adlin's job as a truck driver and his frequent 
absences from home made the marriage unbearable. Unable to endure 
any longer, the couple applied to the Bakırköy Family Court for an 
amicable divorce.

The Adlin couple went to the court hearing as if they were going to a 
wedding, looking very happy. Sonel Adlin and her husband Ayhan Adlin, 
along with their daughter, got into their car like a happy family, displaying 
a sign on the rear window that read, "We are happy, we are getting 
divorced." 

Sonel hanım in happy days...



























Driving between Yenibosna and Şirinevler, they played loud music and 
danced, much to the surprise and applause of other drivers. Sonel Adlin 
and her husband Ayhan Adlin responded to the applauding drivers, saying, 
"We are getting divorced, but we are not enemies." Traffic was briefly 
disrupted as other drivers watched the Adlin couple. The couple, who 
parked their cars in front of the Bakırköy Courthouse annex building, 
danced for a while inside the parking lot.

The court judge granted Sonel Adlin and Ayhan Adlin a consensual 
divorce, awarding custody of their 6-year-old daughter, Ecrin, to her
mother. The judge also ordered Ayhan Adlin to pay 8,000 TL (about
$ 172) per month in child support. Following the divorce, the couple 
shared a family photo on social media, stating, "We may be separated, 
but we'll always be together for our daughter."

First the book, then the movie...
