Abstract
The relevant decision is of significant importance for Turkish law. Although the Turkish Civil Code No. 4721 has largely mitigated the unequal position of women and men in family and society, some regulations that prioritize men continue to exist. The provision stipulating that a woman will take her husband’s surname upon marriage is one of these. The annulment of this provision constitutes an important step towards equality. In light of the significance of the decision, the original style of the decision text has been preserved as much as possible. The repetitions and headings within the decision have not been altered. Thus, the aim was to convey the Constitutional Court’s stance on the issue and the dissenting opinions of the Court’s Members in the most accurate manner.
