Emeğini Evin Geçimine Özgüleyen Eşin, Diğer Eşten Karşılık Talebi
Reimbursement Claim of the Spouse Who Devotes Their Labour to the Household Maintenance

Summary/Abstract: Article 186/III of the Turkish Civil Code No.4271, which entered into force on 01.01.2002 is stated that the contribution to the household expenses is the responsibility of both spouses. The contributions not only with their assets but also with their labor, regardless of whether they have a profession or not, are also considered within this scope. The contribution to the expenses of the household doesn’t have to be made with assets, and activities if any, where labor is at the forefront, are also considered as contributions to the family union. This behavior of the spouse who, taking into account the benefit of the marital union, renounces earning an income instead of working in a gainful job outside the home and devotes his/her labor to the maintenance of the house, according to Article 196 of the Turkish Civil Code is considered as his/her contribution to the expenses of the marital union.
