To pamper wives is not only a part of showing love but also a culture. In different communities, there exist various rituals and rules that have to be followed by men to keep their wives happy. During the customs of marriages, few enables to grow a bonding among the couples. One of such is present in the community of the Turkish culture. Coffee is one of the ingredients that keep the spices of attraction and affection between couples alive. After marriage, a husband should provide his woman with all the various flavors of coffee.

If the man somehow fails to satisfy his wife with the kind of flavor, making her unhappy due to the absence of coffee at home may lead to divorce. According to the 15^th-century Turkish law and culture, on the ground of dissatisfaction when the favorite or required amount of coffee is not at home, divorce was possible. A woman can easily ask for a separation based on the coffee.

It seems strange for many, how can only coffees cause divorce among couples? But a woman could simply file a case for divorce against her husband due to insufficient supply of coffee to her.  

Ottoman Empire ban of coffee from Turkish culture

During the reign of Sultan Murad IV, coffee was banned. Those who wanted to buy and drink coffee were considered to be punished. Despite considering it as illegal in the country, the people did not give up coffee. Sentencing to death was also not able to remove the craving for coffee from their people. This had led to put the social and personal lives of the commoner in difficulty and shock.

The main reason to ban coffee is to keep his people away to develop new thoughts and ideas that may harm the dynasty or the king. Arabs use to call the coffee houses the “houses of the wise”. To stop the selling, Sultan use to roam around the market in disguise. Life for coffee lovers became difficult in Turkey.

16^th Century and divorce initiated by Turkish Women increased

Once there was a bar in the selling of coffee the filing of divorce cases by Turkish women increased effectively. When men were not able to ensure to keep the house sufficient with different kinds of coffee flavors. The Ottoman dynasty had tried to remove the addiction and popularity of coffee from the Turkey culture. Coffee has remained a lifeline among the people of Turkey, this is the reason that it is a mainstay of Istanbul.

If the Arabian men were not able to provide women with the required amount of coffee, as some believed they cannot stay without it. Men who cannot take care of the needs and wishes of wives should not stay together. Based on this ground divorce was possible to set a woman free from a man. On other hand, a woman having a house filled with her favorite coffee was believed to be the luckiest and happiest couple in the Turkish culture.

Arsenal Football Club have began their Champions League journey with a loss to German powerhouse, Borussia Dortmund but the North London team will be looking to add points in the tally when they take on Turkish opponents, Galatasaray in the Group D clash at the Emirates.

Arsenal was lucky to lose only 2-0 in Dortmund after being comprehensively outplayed by the Bundesliga outfit and already look strong favourites to top the group.

Even though the Gunners are playing at home, a win here would be a fitting reply to the critics who have doubted the Gunners’ capability of survival in the Champions League. But all is not merry in the Arsenal squad. Manager Arsene Wenger, who celebrates 18 years at the helm, has seen injuries mar the squad. Aaron Ramsey, Abou Diaby, Mikel Arteta, Olivier Giroud are host of players been ruled out.

Creative midfielder, Jack Wilshere was also a doubt after taking a knock against Tottenham on Sunday but has recovered while, right back Mathieu Debuchy remains to be out for three months. But despite the array of injuries in the team, Wenger has options available with Mesut Ozil, Danny Welbeck and Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla to breathe down the opposition’s neck.

Galatasaray, who also began their Champions League journey with a dull draw against Anderlecht, have not been anywhere near as consistent. They have yet to beat an English opposition on away soil and have to rely on the likes of Wesley Sneijder and forward Burak Yilmaz to deliver the goods upfront. They also reached the first knockout round last season but have started the recent campaign in an ordinary fashion.

Arsenal will need to shrug off the pre-EPL result and start afresh against a valiant Turkish opponent in Galatasaray. The Gunners must fire in the goals if they are to progress further but the Turks can string in a surprise, if all goes well for them.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini; Sanchez, Ozil, Cazorla, Welbeck.

Galatasaray: Muslera; Versel, Chedjou, Semih, Telles; Dzemaili, Melo, Selcuk; Sneijder; Burak, Pandev.
