Marriage in Turkey
Marriage in Turkey may be performed by civil officials or by Muslim clerics (since 2017), although only civil marriage is recognized.[1] The legal age for marriage is 18 although 17-year-olds can marry with parental permission, and 16-year-olds with both parental permission and a court decision.[2]
Same-sex marriage
Same-sex marriage is not recognized in Turkey; according to a 2015 Ipsos survey, 27 percent of the population supports it.[3]
