'Liking ‘thirst traps’ on social media could be grounds for divorce – in Türkiye, at least.
In a landmark ruling, a Turkish court has determined that ‘liking’ other women’s social media posts can be used as evidence in divorce proceedings.
The Court of Cassation, Türkiye’s highest court, found that a man from the major city of Kayseri, “undermined marital trust” by repeatedly liking other women’s photos online.
Both the husband, identified as S.B, and the wife, H.B, filed for divorce.
She accused her husband of belittling her, failing to provide financial support, and breaching his duty of loyalty by interacting with other women’s posts, according to local reports.'
