Özet:

 The aim of this study is to determine the meaning of the expression if there is a high probability of death in Article 32 of the Turkish Civil Code, which regulates circumstances of absence, and to evaluate whether the presence of high probability of the death of the person is a special condition to be required for issuing a declaration of absence. In some of the main works on the subject in the Turkish and Swiss legal doctrine, the presence of a high probability of the death of the person is specifically mentioned among the conditions for issuing a declaration of absence, while in others it is not. In the practice of the Turkish Court of Cassation, however, the presence of a high probability of the death of the person is recognized as a special condition to be required for issuing a declaration of absence. This study claims that situations of disappearance under life-threatening circumstances or being missing for a lengthy period without any sign of life are the situations that alone can lead to a high probability of the death of the absentee. In this context, this study argues that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between disappearance under life-threatening circumstances or being missing for a lengthy period without any sign of life and the presence of a high probability of the death. In addition, this study concludes that the expression if there is a high probability of death in Article 32 of the Code should be considered as a criterion used to distinguish the presumption of death from the declaration of absence in the cases of disappearance under life-threatening circumstance, and as a criterion that prevents the declaration of absence due to the cessation of the cause-and-effect relationship in the case of being missing for a lengthy period without any sign of life, if the lack of news is based on a reasonable explanation.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı gaiplik durumlarını düzenleyen Türk Medenî Kanununun 32. maddesinde yer alan ölümü hakkında kuvvetli olasılık varsa ifadesinin anlamının belirlenmesi ve gaiplik kararı verilebilmesi için kişinin ölümü hakkında kuvvetli olasılık bulunmasının, aranması gereken özel bir koşul olup olmadığının değerlendirilmesidir. Türk ve İsviçre hukuk öğretisinde konuya ilişkin başlıca eserlerin bazılarında kişinin ölümü hakkında kuvvetli olasılık bulunması, gaiplik kararının verilebilmesinin koşulları arasında özel olarak sayılmakta bazılarında ise sayılmamaktadır. Yargıtay uygulamasında ise kişinin ölümü hakkında kuvvetli olasılık bulunması, gaiplik kararı verilebilmesi için aranması gereken özel bir koşul olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada ölüm tehlikesi içinde kaybolma ve kendisinden uzun zamandan beri haber alınamama durumlarının tek başına, kişinin ölümü hakkında kuvvetli olasılık doğurabilen durumlar olduğu savunulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda ölüm tehlikesi içinde kaybolma ve kişiden uzun süredir haber alınamama ile kişinin ölümü hakkında kuvvetli olasılık bulunması arasında bir neden sonuç ilişkisi olduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Ayrıca Kanunun 32. maddesinde yer alan ölümü hakkında kuvvetli olasılık varsa ifadesinin ölüm tehlikesi içinde kaybolma durumu bakımından gaiplik kararıyla ölüm karinesinin ayırt edilmesinde kullanılan; uzun süredir haber alınamama durumu bakımından ise haber alınamamanın makul bir gerekçeye dayanması hâlinde aradaki neden sonuç ilişkisinin kesilmesi sebebiyle gaiplik kararı verilmesini engelleyen bir ölçüt olarak değerlendirilmesi gerektiği sonucuna varılmaktadır.
