Summary/Abstract: That mankind came into being with its peer and the relationship's inheritance between man and woman is pointed out for many times in Quran. In every phase of this togetherness, it is ordered that the right's of the peers mustn't be contravened by one another and the rules which must be followed are stated in many verses in Quran. The marriage used to be contracted or broken off according to religious rules in the Ottoman State, however in Turkish Republic, the authorization for marriage was given to municipalities and the authorization for divorce was given to courts. It is considered that family and marriage relations will be moved to a new dimension in Turkey with the permission given by the Grand National Turkish Assembly to the Presidency of Religious Affairs for the registration of marriage contract. In our work, we express our views on how this regulation can respond in the Turkish society.
