This Turkish drama happened right before the woman’s eyes. Her husband, a businessman and a large importer of textile products whose main business is in Turkey from where he usually imports his goods, used to go to Istanbul at least once every two weeks for two or three days.
On one of his last trips, the woman decided, as she had done many times in the past, to join him on the trip and together they arranged a four-day stay with a couple of friends – what is called “business and pleasure”. As part of the entertainment that was planned, the possibility, on the part of the husband, to take his wife and the couple of friends to a night club that, according to his wife, he used to go to from time to time was not taken into account.
To the lawyers Sherin and Moran Solan, the woman told that her husband used to brag about the fine wines and dinners he receives from his hosts when he arrives in Istanbul. Usually according to her, they spent time together in other places. This time, the woman asked and really insisted on going to the same club from which her husband always left upset and excited.
The husband relented and during the evening, which as mentioned includes dinner and fine wines, came the artistic part which included singing and a performance by a belly dancer – the club’s house dancer. During her dances she signaled the man to come on stage with her and he joined in and was all excited. The woman filmed the long dance and after the event slapped him: “You can see by the dance and by the enthusiasm of the two of you that there is something between you. How dare you embarrass me like that in front of our friends and in general? Do you want to flirt? Do you want to go with the belly dancer? Go.”
Attorney Sharin and Moran Solan (Photo: 18th)At first the husband denied any romantic relationship with the belly dancer, but after the dance, the dancer came to sit at their table and the wife noticed her words in their looks and understood. “You have to admit that you have a thing with the dancer.”
Attorney Solan made it clear to the wife that the couple should go through a dispute settlement procedure as is customary before a divorce: “I recommended to the wife that she request a complete ban on the husband going to Istanbul, not even for business purposes.” The husband is considering the request, but according to him he needs to train his replacement to travel in his place and there Thus, he must travel with him several times. “It’s either me or Istanbul, otherwise we meet in the rabbinate,” the woman promised.
