Western legal systems haven’t been indifferent to the new forms of living together which arised in the 1960s and they have established rules that regulate the relations of non-marital cohabitants. In countries such as Turkey, where such a social phenomenon yet to be accepted by the society and the law, the possible effects of these relations in the domestic law have gained a great importance. The purpose of this article is firstly to examine the forms of non-marital cohabitation composed by the same-sex and different-sex couples in accordance with the foreign national laws and European Court of Human Rights ECHR judgments; secondly to evaluate the doctrine’s recommendations and the solutions that foreign legal systems adopt concerning the law applicable to non-marital cohabitation; and thirdly to determine the law applicable to these relation forms within Turkish law.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Non-marital cohabitation, registered partnership, de facto union, European Court of Human Rights, private international law, applicable law.

EVLİLİK DIŞI BİRLİKTE YAŞAM MODELLERİNE UYGULANACAK HUKUK

Öz

1960’lı yıllardan itibaren özellikle batılı toplumlarda ortaya çıkan yeni birlikte yaşam şekillerine hukuk sistemleri kayıtsız kalmamış, evlilik dışı birlikte yaşam süren çiftler için, bu kişilerin ilişkilerini düzenleyen hukuk kuralları oluşturulmuştur. Henüz böyle bir sosyal olgunun toplum ve hukuk tarafından kabul görmediği Türkiye gibi ülkelerde ise yabancı hukuk sistemlerinde sonuç bağlanan bu ilişkilerin, iç hukuktaki muhtemel etkileri bir hayli önem kazanmıştır. Makalede, aynı cinsiyetten ve farklı cinsiyetten kişilerin oluşturduğu evlilik dışı birlikte yaşam modellerinin millî hukuk sistemlerinde ve Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi AİHM kararları doğrultusunda incelenmesi; evlilik dışı birlikte yaşam modellerine uygulanacak hukukla ilgili doktrin görüşleri ile yabancı hukuk sistemlerinin benimsediği çözümlerin değerlendirilmesi ve bu birlikteliklere Türk hukuku bağlamında uygulanacak hukukun belirlenmesi konularının ele alınması amaçlanmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Evlilik dışı birlikte yaşam, kayıtlı birliktelik, de facto birliktelik, Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi, milletlerarası özel hukuk, uygulanacak hukuk.
