What would you have done in his situation. Don't think I'd want to separate the twins.

Regardless of the official termonology I hate the word bastard when refering to a child. As for the child. The system where she has to marry someone she does not love is wrong. I can understand the father rejecting the child. I think it sad but i can understand.

The child is the real victum in all this. To be raised in a home while your brother is cared for..... He will never understand this as he grows.

Is that the law in an islamic country or did she just walk away from it??

Turkey isn't an Islamic country. Officially, it's secular, AFAIK.

Because all "Islamic countries" have exactly the same laws right ?

Although they have school prayer and the government funds the construction of mosques.

Unsure of the relevence though. Couldnt these events just as easily take place in any country regardless of the religion (actual or assumed*) of the protagonists/majority of the wider population or the form of Government ?

The Father did not reject his child. He reject to raise another man child.

I can only assume the laws where they are prevented the mother from taking either of the children, because otherwise she or the other father could have taken him.

Horribly, horribly said either way.

He raised that boy for 3 years, he's his father.

What a tosser.

While I don't agree with the actions of the father I don't think seperating the twins has anything to do with it, seperating a child from their parent would be far more damaging imo.

I'm probably gonna get destroyed for this (even though i think what i am saying is fully justified), but i think (at least in ireland-where women are free to marry anyone they want) that cuckoldery should be a punishable offence, with punishments as severe as those for rape.
The only reason it hasn't been historically is because DNA testing is a recent invention.

If they're twins, but they're also half-brothers, doesn't that make them one child?

Ow my brain!

You're putting cheating on a par with rape?

That's the fcuking stupidest thing I've ever read.

If you can love a child for 3 years, then throw it in an institution because it isn't yours, you have severe emotional issues IMO. It would be a horrible, horrible thing to find out, but his gripe is with the Mother - I understand him divorcing her, but the child is just an innocent little fella.

If done knowingly and deliberately it could arguably be equated with fraud maybe but could be very difficult to prove

No, I'm putting cucoldry on par with rape (tricking a man into giving up his life/resources raising a child that is not his). The two are very different things, but when the woman knows what's going on i think cucoldry is just as morally dispicable as rape.

I agree.
