A man in Turkey has been fined for saying "I don't love you" to his wife.

The spouses - who are divorcing - both sought compensation from each other over insults apparently hurled during their marriage, the Daily Sabah website reports. A lower court had ruled they were both as bad as one another, but the Supreme Court of Appeal said the man's remark about not loving his wife amounted to "emotional violence", and ordered him to pay her compensation. The woman said her husband's comment had left her "emotionally wrecked", and that he had often left the marital home. For his part, the man said his wife had repeatedly "cursed" him.

Turkey has been trying to crack down on all forms of violence against women, but the paper points out that emotional and psychological abuse can be difficult to prove. A 2014 survey of university-educated women working in white-collar jobs found that 40% of respondents had experienced that type of abuse at least once, the Hurriyet Daily News reported in December.

Wow!! if such law is introduced in 9ja, galz go hammer wella...

Nah by force to love again? The judge that fined him mumu nor bi small

Yes ke

I would rather be with someone who is upfront and straightforward, even if it she says things like that. At least we know where we are going and I can cut my losses. But the typical Nigerian woman.......

Meanwhile "I don't love you, I am with you cause of the kids" is being recited daily in some homes in Naija.
