Beste Kökdemir responded to the criticism regarding her pregnancy via social media:
I was expecting this kind of lynching, but I don't take it too seriously.
However, when I think about it collectively, I feel sorry for these mindsets.
Because I am bringing a child into this country. The existence of a mindset that sees having a child as something that should only happen before or after marriage saddens me.
I wouldn't have wanted to be in such an environment.
We didn't get married to force having a child; we got married early after I became pregnant.
You might be confusing it with your own worlds, you might be seeing your own cowardice!
Beste Kökdemir announced she was pregnant on her wedding day:
