[80475] Turkey's Constitutional Court to deliberate on canceling indefinite alimony

The issue of indefinite alimony comes up for discussion at the Constitutional Court

On June 4, 2026, Turkey's Constitutional Court is expected to hold a decisive hearing on the issue of indefinite alimony (süresiz nafaka). The hearing follows growing public and legal demands to re-examine the current legislation on the matter, which in many cases requires ongoing payments after divorce.

According to reports by the channels Son Dakika Haberler Türkiye, Son Dakika Haberler Gündem, Son Dakika Haberleri Türkiye and GündemX, the issue will be at the top of the agenda for the court's upcoming session. These channels, generally identified with breaking news reports without declared political biases, emphasize that this is a loaded legal issue affecting thousands of citizens.

According to Son Dakika Haberler Türkiye, the central goal of the hearing is to examine the "request to cancel indefinite alimony." The move is seen by its supporters as correcting a social injustice, while its opponents fear harm to the financial security of divorcees who rely on these payments.

The upcoming hearing on June 4 is considered a significant milestone, as any decision by the Constitutional Court is expected to lead to a comprehensive change in the Turkish legal system regarding family law.
