In a historic step, a landmark ruling by the Constitutional Court gave Turkish married women the right to use their maiden surname without resorting to court proceedings, reported the Daily Sabah newspaper. The country's top court nullified the provision in Article 187 of the Turkish Civil Code last year, citing a violation of the principle of equality. Now in force since January 28, the decision represents a major leap for women rights in Türkiye, as now, women can keep using their maiden surname after marriage without legal complexities.
