Bad news came from the Supreme Court for business-colic husbands because they devoted all their time to work. The fact that the workaholic husband does not spare enough time at home, as well as spending most of his time at the workplace, will now be considered a reason for divorce. While the Supreme Court of Appeals assessed the appeal of the divorce case, as a result of its unanimous decision, the divorce cases brought a new dimension. In an incident that happened, a couple who had been in conflict for a while decided to divorce. The plaintiff demanded financial and moral compensation from her husband. Among the reasons of the woman were that she was not interested in herself, that she was not with her husband during pregnancy and childbirth, and that she spent most of her time at work and with her friends in the rest of the time. While the Family Court ordered the divorce of the parties, it rejected the compensation demands of the woman. The plaintiff, on the other hand, appealed the decision after this decision. Noting that the husband spends most of his time at work and with friends, the Supreme Court of Appeals 2nd Legal Department emphasized that his wife was completely flawed in not giving enough time to the house even during pregnancy. The following statements were included in the decision of the Supreme Court: “The man who does not come home until late, does not take his wife and mother-in-law home, then does not come home and states that he does not want to come, even on special days, the man who is not present with his wife is completely at fault in the events that cause divorce. These flawed behaviors also constitute an attack on the personal rights of the plaintiff. Considering the economic and social conditions of the parties and the rules of equity, the severity of the fault is in accordance with Article 174/2 of the Turkish Civil Code for the benefit of women. While the non-pecuniary damages should be awarded in accordance with the article, the rejection of the request for non-pecuniary damages in writing was not correct and required reversal. It was decided to quash the court decision unanimously. "
