Özet:

 In the event of the breakdown of the marriage union, the possibility of separation and divorce of the spouses comes to the fore. It is possible for the parties to bring a lot of evidence to prove their claims in order to meet their demands, depending on various reasons for divorce in the divorce case process. In this process, it is often not easy to obtain the evidence brought to prove the reason for the divorce. In divorce cases filed by the spouse who thinks that heshe has been deceived or who believes that heshe has acted against his duty of loyalty, the plaintiff usually resorts to some unlawful methods in terms of obtaining evidence, and as a result, one of the spouses faces various criminal charges in terms of criminal law. Essentially, two aspects of this issue need to be resolved. The first of these is whether the spouse who secretly obtained data or message records can be held responsible for the crime of violating the confidentiality of communication, and the other dimension is whether the use of these evidences in the civil court that hears the divorce case is against the law. The subject of this article is both whether such evidence obtained in divorce cases is against the law and whether the use of such evidence will constitute a crime in terms of criminal law. The article will also focus on the question of whether the existing regulations and the solutions in practice conflict or not by discussing whether a legal regulation is required in such a situation. While we trying to find answers to these questions in our study, we will also evaluate the judicial jurisprudence on this issue.

 Evlilik birliğinin bozulması durumunda eşlerin birbirinden ayrılması ve boşanması ihtimali gündeme gelir. Boşanma davası sürecinde çeşitli boşanma sebeplerine bağlı olarak tarafların, kendi taleplerinin karşılanması amacıyla iddialarını ispatlamaya yönelik birçok delil getirmesi mümkündür. Bu süreçte, boşanma sebebini ispat amacıyla getirilen delillerin elde edilmesi çoğu zaman kolay olmamaktadır. Aldatıldığını düşünen ya da sadakat yükümlülüğüne aykırı davranıldığı kanaatinde olan eşin açtığı boşanma davalarında genellikle davacı taraf, delil elde etme yöntemleri açısından birtakım hukuka aykırı yöntemlere başvurmakta ve sonucunda ceza hukuku bakımından çeşitli suç isnatlarıyla karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Esasen bu meselenin çözüme kavuşturulması gereken iki yönü vardır: Bunlardan ilki gizlice elde ettiği verileri veya mesaj kayıtlarını sunan eşin haberleşmenin gizliliğini ihlal suçundan sorumlu tutulup tutulamayacağı meselesidir. Diğer boyutu ise boşanma davasını gören hukuk mahkemesinde bu delillerin kullanılmasının hukuka aykırı olup olmadığı meselesidir. Bu makalenin konusu, boşanma davalarında elde edilen bu delillerin hem hukuka aykırı olup olmadığı hem de bu delillerin kullanılmasının ceza hukuku açısından suç oluşturup oluşturmadığıdır. Makalede ayrıca böyle bir durumda yasal bir düzenlemeye ihtiyaç olup olmadığı tartışılarak mevcut düzenlemeler ile pratikteki çözümlerin çelişip çelişmediği sorusu üzerinde durulacaktır. Çalışmamızda bu sorunlara çözüm üretilmeye çalışılmış ve konuya ilişkin yargı kararları değerlendirilmiştir.
