Therefore, henceforth, the use of terms such as housewife, concubine, courtesan, etc. in the judgment and order announcements has been restricted in the court decision, and some respectful words have been published instead. "Some words are used based on the character of the woman, her dress and lifestyle. They are not suitable. Therefore, such a word has been removed and an honorary word has been published', the court said. Meanwhile, some of the 'old decrees/orders contained stereotypical or presumptive terms about women. There will be no more like this.'
According to the new 30-page manual, the term 'prostitute' will be replaced by 'sex workers'. 'Woman' will be used instead of 'Nurse'. Instead of 'keep', 'love or sexual relationship which a person has with a woman outside of his married life' will be used. The word 'teasing' will be replaced by 'street sexual harassment'. The word 'fagot' will be replaced by a specific term for a person's sexual interest. The term 'housewife' will be replaced by 'housemaker'. The word 'mysterus' will henceforth be used to mean 'the love or sexual relationship of a woman with a man outside of his marital relationship'. Instead of 'bastard', the word 'child born out of wedlock or whose parents are not married' will be used.
