In Turkish Law, engagement is a very simple process without any formal requirements.

Engagement is also regarded as a contract, but it is a family law contract. Therefore, it is not possible to enforce. This important point is specially emphasized in The Civil Code by saying that, engagement does not give rise to any actionable obligation to get married.

In article 122, it is stated that if the engagement is ended, the engaged parties, their parents and the ones who were acting as their parents may demand the return of gifts made to each other. The second result is the material and moral damages resulting from the breach of the engagement should be compensated.
