Istanbul Wedding Dispute Ends with Police Intervention and Hospitalization

A wedding ceremony in Arnavutköy, Istanbul, involving a 21‑year‑old bride reportedly brought from Gaziantep and a 38‑year‑old groom, was disrupted when the bride’s family attempted to stop the marriage. Police escorted the couple, the ceremony was completed, and the bride’s father suffered a health crisis and was taken to hospital. Both sides later filed complaints against each other.

In a separate incident, a bride posted a screenshot of a message from her future father‑in‑law received minutes before entering the wedding venue, revealing that the gold jewelry for the ceremony had been rented and would be returned afterward. The revelation sparked debate on social media about wedding expenses and family transparency.
