Since wedding jewelry is considered personal property, it cannot be included in the calculation of property division in divorce.
Spending the wedding jewelry on common needs or wedding expenses within the marriage, paying the debt of the man with jewelry, etc. ın the event of divorce, the woman has the right to demand the wedding jewelery from her husband, even if it is sold out due to reasons such as: If the woman voluntarily gave the wedding jewelry to the man on the condition that it cannot be “returned”, she can no longer demand the jewelry back. However, the man has to prove that the jewelry was given to him by the woman, not to be returned.
Jewelry coins and jewelry worn at the wedding are considered to belong to the woman, unless there is a contrary agreement between the parties. Unless it is proven that it was given on a non-refundable condition; having them cashed and spent by the husband for his debts; does not relieve him of the refund debt. The plaintiff-defendant husband declared and accepted that “all of them are used for engagement, wedding and household goods debts” in his response to the woman’s requests for jewelry and ornaments; Nor could he prove that the jewelry money was given to him by the woman, never to be returned. For these reasons, the woman’s case regarding her request for jewelry money should be accepted. (Court of Appeals 2HD-K.2014/26223).
