The Human Rights and Equality Institution of Türkiye (TİHEK) fined Çanakkale Municipality 256,357 lira for discrimination for applying a different wedding fee for foreign nationals.

The institution penalized the municipality for violating the prohibition of discrimination, as its 2025 tariff set 2,500 lira for Turkish citizens and 25,000 lira for foreigners. The municipality had argued the difference stemmed from additional administrative procedures.
