The man identified as Ali D, 40, who married G.D. three years earlier had repeatedly warned his wife not to curse at the president.

The news reports reveal that his wife had not taken his warning seriously, challenging her husband,

"Record and lodge a complaint."

Mr D went ahead to record his wifes 'insults' as evidence for the case, going on to lodge a complaint with Izmir prosecutors.

Yeni Safak newspaper quotes Mr D:

"I kept on warning her, saying why are you doing this? Our president is a good person and did good things for Turkey."

Sadly, his stubborn wife had continued to insult President Erdogan or just changed the channel whenever the president came on television.

"Even if it is my father who swears against or insults the president, I would not forgive and I would complain."
