Latest in the series Turkish Constitutional Court takes up bonus appeal on merits
The Turkish Court of Cassation (Yargıtay)'s 10th Civil Chamber ruled that a pension paid to those effectively living with a divorced spouse must be cut, whether the divorce was real or fraudulent.
The ruling was given in a case brought by a woman receiving an orphan's pension through her father, who died in 2002, after her pension was cut on the grounds that she kept living with her divorced husband. The local court had found in her favour, and the Social Security Institution (SGK)'s appeal had also been rejected.
