The provisions and results of the termination of engagement

In order for the execution of the provisions about the termination of engagement, first of all, there should be an engagement relationship. Therefore, in our study, we examined the constituent and validity elements of the engagement. Additionally, particularly dwelling on whether the relationship between the parties is evaluated as an engagement, we attempted to determine the relationships over which the provisions of engagement can be applied. In order for the provisions of engagement to be applied, it is necessary that the engagement is terminated before the marriage. In our study, we examined all the cases in which the engagement is terminated before the marriage. In case of the termination of an engagement before the marriage, some demands are emerged. These are: material compensation, immaterial compensation, and return of the gifts. The material compensation is demanded in case of a pecuniary damage, and the immaterial compensation emerges in case of a damage to the immaterial rights. As per the return of the gifts, it is a demand requesting to receive the gifts given to the fiancées during the engagement. The owners of the demand right and the conditions of the demand were separately investigated for each particular demand, and important disputes in the implementation were emphasized in our study.
