A Unique Divorce Agreement Between A Husband And Wife In Turkey Has Caused A Stir On Social Media.

The True Post (Web News) A divorce agreement in Turkey has caused a stir on social media, because in it the wife made a demand from her husband that surprised everyone.

According to details, an unusual condition was included in the divorce agreement signed in Istanbul — under which the ex-husband was given the responsibility of taking care of and supporting his ex-wife’s cats. According to the agreement, the cats will remain with the ex-wife, but the husband voluntarily agreed to pay 10,000 Turkish liras every three months for the care of the cats.
Interestingly, this payment will continue for ten years or as long as the cats live. The agreement also includes a clause that the payment amount will be re-determined every year in accordance with the official inflation rate in Turkey. Legally, cats and other pets are still considered “movable property” in Turkey, but in recent years, some court decisions have recognized such expenses as “maintenance or care payments” in consideration of the welfare of the animals. This unique case reflects a new trend in Turkey, where divorce agreements are now including not only human responsibilities but also **animal maintenance expenses** within the legal scope. Interesting comments are being made on social media about this unique agreement — someone said, *“Love is over, but the cat expenses remain!”, while another user wrote sarcastically, *“This is what happens
