The New Welfare Party has submitted a legislative proposal to the Parliament to limit alimony to five years. In response, the EŞİK Platform expressed their opposition, stating that the legislative proposal is unconstitutional, that the civil code, which is the foundation of secular law, should be defended.

Speaking about the legal amendment poised to put a time limit on the right to alimony, lawyers Akkaya and Pasinli say that the attacks on women’s rights will not be limited to this, underlining that the amendment is against international conventions.

Ahead of a legal amendment poised to introduce a time limit to the right to alimony, women call for a protest demonstration in Kadıköy on February 12: “We continue raising our voices against those who try to restrict our rights, lives and freedom.”

The Women’s Platform for Equality of Turkey has released a statement about the amendment expected to be introduced to the law regarding the right to alimony.
