THE PLAINTIFFS OF THE LAWSUITS ABOUT PATERNITY

In the Tu rkish Civil Code, four diff erent lawsuits can be filed concerning the paternity relationship between the child and the father. These lawsuits are rejection of the paternity (TCC Art. 286), the objection and cancellation lawsuit of the paternity established with later marriage (TCC Art. 294), cancellation case of the recognition of child (TCC Art. 297) and the paternity lawsuit (TCC Art. 301). Individuals who are able to sue are specified separately for each lawsuit. Despite some people have not been granted this right in recognition of the right to sue for some reason, such as protecting the family, the child’s interest, the fatherhood right and genetic root commitment, some have not been granted this right.
