Abstract

Supporting women and trying to empower them is one of the essential requirements in any society. In this regard, in 2006, the legislator added a note to Article 336 of the Civil Code, giving the wife the right to demand remuneration from her husband for the work she has done during their life together in the common home. In this study, which is done by a descriptive-analytical method and based on library studies, the author believes that the common wage as a financial right that was added to our legal texts in the opinion of the legislator and many legal writers in order to protect women, is the subject of much criticism from various legal and social aspects. So that not only cannot it fulfill the protective function intended by the legislator in practice, but also it is even contrary to the dignity and status of women. Therefore, while proposing the elimination of such Article, the alternative solutions such as mandatory insurance for housewives are proposed, which, while preserving the dignity of the wife, provides the necessary support for women and causes less tension between couples.
