The couple were approached by reporters as they were dining in the same neighborhood over the weekend; one of them asked Turan's wife Aslihan Dogan if  the "simple ceremony" lived up to her expectations.

She replied by making a zip gesture across her mouth and was asked if her new husband had banned her from talking.

"Be respectful, or I will crush your head and eyes! You're talking to my wife," roared Turan in response, according to NTV.

The 31-year-old midfielder joined Istanbul-based club Basaksehir on a 2.5-year loan from Barca in January.
