Precedent Decision from the Supreme Court: The Groom Who Did Not Arrive on the Wedding Day Will Pay Compensation

The Supreme Court made a precedent decision about the groom who did not attend the ceremony on the wedding day, saying “I’m afraid of marriage, I can’t do it.” The court ruled that the groom, who victimized his fiancée by not attending the ceremony while the wedding preparations were completed, should pay non-pecuniary damages due to the moral collapse experienced by the other party.

The Supreme Court, which examined the file upon the appeal of the local court’s decision, stated that this sudden renunciation at the stage of establishing the marriage union was an attack on personal rights by shaking the trust in the engagement process. The decision is of great importance in terms of determining the limits of legal liability in such cases of sudden abandonment during the engagement period.
