The events that started when the character in the series was pushed out of a window while fleeing from the rape of the man she was forced to marry and her rebellion against her family attracted great attention in the press and on social media. At the March 8 Women's Day events in Istanbul, banners were carried with the slogan "We are with you, Nursema, against the father, against the brother, against the fiancé you don't like, against the bridegroom, against the patriarchal capitalist order!" Karakoç revealed in a television program that many women have shared similar incidents with her since the forced marriage scene.
