Marriage in Turkey

Marriage in Turkey may be performed by civil officials or by Muslim clerics (since 2017), although only civil marriage is recognized. 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.

Same-sex marriage
Same-sex marriage is not recognized in Turkey; according to a 2015 Ipsos survey, 27 percent of the population supports it.
