A woman referred to as AY has filed for divorce from her husband, CY, citing his lack of personal hygiene as the main reason. The lawyer representing the plaintiff informed the 19th Family Court in Ankara that the defendant had been wearing the same clothes for at least 5 consecutive days, rarely bathing, and constantly smelling of sweat. Here is a complete summary of the story, quoted from odditycentral.com on April 19th.

A woman known as AY has filed for divorce from her husband, CY, citing lack of attention to personal hygiene as the main factor. Witnesses were called to confirm this claim, including mutual acquaintances and some of the husband's coworkers. They all provided statements corroborating the defendant's lack of attention to personal cleanliness.

"According to lawyer AY, Senem Yılmazel, in an interview with the Turkish newspaper Sabah, the obligation to live together must be fulfilled by the couple. If living together becomes impossible due to unacceptable behavior, then the other party has the right to file for divorce. It is important for all of us to be cautious in building relationships between humans. Therefore, we need to pay attention to our behavior and personal hygiene well."

In the Turkish legal system regarding divorce, the reasons are divided into two types, namely specific and general reasons. General reasons include anything that makes life unacceptable for one or both parties. For example, the husband's lack of personal hygiene can be considered a valid reason for filing for divorce, as recognized by the District Court and the Supreme Court in the final decision that has been reached.
