What is Matrimonial Home

What is a Family Residence?

Our family home is undefined in the law, although the rationale and relevant article have been derived from land, when the Supreme Court; “do all the daily activities of the spouses, the direction one’s life accordingly, given good and bad times he lived in, a place filled with memories” “the spouses regularly used for residential purposes, the activities of living space in this connection” the common point in all the definitions, as seen in a certain place, the continuous life of the element. That’s why it’s called ‘cottage, farmhouse, chalet, timeshare’, etc. the spaces will not be considered as family residences. By family housing, we mean a single dwelling where a couple who is married in an official marriage lives permanently. The fact that one or both of the spouses is the owner (owner) of this residence or that they are tenants will not be important in terms of the fact that this place has acquired the title of ‘family residence’.

Protection of Family Housing and Interpretation of Family Housing

In order to protect the family residence due to its material and moral importance, one of the regulations contained in our law is the introduction of commentary on the family residence. The word meaning of the commentary is ‘to explain, to separate’ and as a legal term it means ‘to write personal rights, transfer restrictions and temporary registration in the land registry’. With the commentary of the family residence, the spouse who is not in the position of owner of the real estate used as a family residence will also have a will in terms of protecting the residence.
