His name is
Onur Albayrak! Here’s the story.
Hurriyet Daily News reports that Albayrak had been hired to photograph the July 5th wedding at Turgut Özal Nature Park in the eastern Turkish province of Malatya. On the day of, when he noticed that the bride-to-be didn’t look like an adult, he asked the groom her age and learned that she was only 15.
“The groom had come to my studio some two weeks ago and was alone,” Albayrak tells the Daily News. “I saw the bride for the first time at the wedding. She’s a child, and I felt her fear because she was trembling.”
Albayrak then reportedly refused to continue as the wedding photographer and attempted to stop the wedding.
The argument soon turned physical when the groom attacked him as he was attempting to leave, Albayrak says. The photographer ended up breaking the client’s nose in the fight, according to local reports.
Albayrak confirmed the reports in a Facebook post, which has been met with widespread approval, attracting thousands of Likes and hundreds of overwhelmingly positive comments.
“I wish this had never happened, but it did,” Albayrak writes. “And if you were to ask me if I’d do the same thing again, I’d say ‘yes.’ Child brides are [victims] of child abuse and no power on earth can make me photograph a child in a wedding gown.”
The legal minimum age for marriage in Turkey is 18-years-old for both sexes, and child marriage is punishable by imprisonment for men who marry underage girls. Despite being outlawed, however, child marriage is still prevalent in the country and remains a controversial political issue.

this guy is a hero.
btw - let’s remind ourselves, americans, that unlike turkey, in the US the legal minimum age for marriage is only 18 in two states. in alabama, you can be married as young as fourteen years old if you have “parental permission”. in california, you can get married under 18 if you go to counseling, have a parent with you when you apply for the marriage license, and appear before a judge. in some states, there isn’t even a specific minimum age for marriage.
the minimum marriage age for girls in new hampshire is 13 years old.
48 states allow child marriage.
child marriage is not an “over there” problem, it happens right here, legally. any one of us might find ourselves called upon to break somebody’s nose if we encounter something like this occurring. we also have a responsibility to support groups and laws trying to end child marriage in this country.](https://pics.me.me/thumb_home-news-turkish-photographer-beats-up-years-old-client-after-44651004.png)
![Community, Crime, and Facebook: BREAKING: LINDSEY LOSES APPEAL!
Ordered to Pay AlII Court Costs
JUSTICE IS SERVED!
LINDSEY LOSES LEGAL BATTLE AGAINST VET BOARD
Exclusive Case Update from Tiger's Justice Team
Well, well, well, Kristen. First you kill a cat, then you brag about it, then you claim the cat was rabid, then you recant, then you get your license suspended, then you take the vet board to court, then you appeal the decision—AND NOW YOU GET YOUR COMEUPPANCE!
It's been a long time coming, but the news is sweet. Friends of Tiger have patiently waited for the Texas 3rd Court of Appeals to render a decision—and it is exactly what we were hoping for: AFFIRMED! The Court has affirmed District Court judgments in both cases Kristen Lindsey filed against the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. The rulings of the lower courts were upheld in their entirety, and Lindsey loses again.
Tiger's supporters will recall that Lindsey sued the vet board in 2016 and again in 2017, alleging that the board exceeded its authority in pursuing disciplinary actions against her veterinary license after she cruelly killed Tiger. District Court Judge Karin Crump ruled against Lindsey in both cases, which the notorious “cat killer vet” then appealed.
The Courts have had enough. In an affirmation rendered on April 27, 2018, the 3rd COA Justices wrote:
“Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was no reversible error in the trial court’s judgment. Therefore, the Court affirms the trial court’s judgment. The appellant [Lindsey] shall pay all costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court and in the court below.”
That's right, friends. Kristen Lindsey now owes costs to two Texas courts for her asinine lawsuits AND both appeals. Several years ago, Lindsey stated in her blog “Life Writings from the Lazy Boot” that if her veterinary career didn't pan out, she would “attempt to marry someone rich.” After sabotaging Plan A by remorselessly killing Tiger and antagonizing a professional licensing board and animal lovers worldwide, will she move on to Plan B? With civil court costs x4 (not to mention the legal bills for her DWI) hanging over her head, she'll need a sugar daddy with very deep pockets indeed to implement Plan B.
Is this the end of Lindsey's futile attempts to evade responsibility for her actions? Will Kristen and her attorney Brian Bishop finally realize that her hubris and his legalistic codswallop are no match for the judicial system, or are they still in love with losing? Will they file a motion for rehearing, or try to appeal the case before the Texas Supreme Court? Time will tell, and TJT will be watching.
In any case, today's ruling closes a long chapter in Tiger's saga. Of course we hoped for more: a criminal animal cruelty conviction and permanent license revocation. Yet today we celebrate this victory for the humane community, and trust that it brings some measure of comfort to those who knew and loved Tiger.
We at TJT extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who first “outed” Lindsey's self-incriminating Facebook post and reported Lindsey’s crime to the Brenham, TX Police Department. Without these actions, the vicious killing of Tiger would likely have gone unnoticed and unpunished.
We also thank Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners General Counsel Michelle Griffin and Texas Assistant State Attorney General Ted Ross for their advocacy in pursuit of justice, as well as TJT's Animal Law Attorney Zandra Anderson for her invaluable guidance through the labyrinth of Texas law, and her generous representation of complainants on behalf of Tiger.
And finally, many, many thanks go to everyone here who shares Tiger's journey toward justice with us. United, our voices and vigilance ensure that wherever Kristen Lindsey goes, her misdeeds will follow.
