The murder of a student in 2020 caused horror beyond Turkey.
After a long trial, a 32-year-old has now been sentenced to 23 years in prison under difficult conditions, the state news agency Anadolu reported on Monday.
However, women's rights activists and members of the opposition were disappointed by the verdict.
27-year-old Pinar Gültekin was found dead in Mugla, western Turkey, in July 2020.
A little later, the murderer, who is said to have been in a relationship with Gültekin, confessed to the crime.
The brutal killing had triggered protests beyond the country's borders, and people worldwide shared the name of the murdered Kurd on social networks.
The killer is said to have killed the then 27-year-old, set her on fire and taken her to a forest in a barrel.
The court's decision drew sharp criticism for using "unjustified provocation" as a mitigating factor in the verdict.
From the point of view of many, the victim was given complicity in the crime.
The Federation of Women's Associations in Turkey wrote on Twitter that the people behind the decision wear the "blood of women" on their hands.
The opposition politician and lawyer Sezgin Tanrikulu tweeted that the law had once again been “murdered” with the procedure.
