Iffet, presentation of the series (episode 1)

Iffet (the name means Chastity) is a beautiful girl who lives in a poor neighborhood of Istanbul together with his younger sister, Nimet, who is a high school student, and their father, Ahmet, a very severe and traditional man, who keeps short notice, and whom the girls are afraid of. He treats his daughters badly, doesn't let them have an entourage, date a boyfriend or wear modern clothes that would highlight their beauty. Ahmet thinks that chastity is the most important fortune of a woman and doesn't agree with modern thinking. The girls are kept most of the time in the house. The people from their neighborhood don't agree his behavior, but don't dare to tell him how he should raise his daughters. Despite this extremely severe parent, Iffet secretly meets Cemil, a young man who is in love with her and whom she loves, but they do not have enough money to marry and be a family. He is a taxi driver and only he can lead his daily life with the little money he earns from this job. Some friends and Nimet, know about their dating, but their father doesn't know anything yet.

During the 1st episode, at one point, Cemil and Iffet go together to the wedding of their neighbors and friends, Feyyaz (taxi driver too) and Serpil. Soon after the party has started, Cemil, who drank too much, persuades Iffet to come by his car in the forest to talk about themselves. Cemil, however, takes the opportunity and can't control himself anymore, so he rapes her. This is how the 1st episode ends.

The rapping is found out and turns into a tragedy, in a community where the old rules and family traditions still have a great echo. Iffet expects Cemil to marry her as soon as possible, but things do not happen as she wishes. Cemil leaves her when she gives him the news that she is pregnant and marries Betul, Iffet's friend and the daughter of the taxi company owner where he works. In fact, Cemil loves Iffet but the circumstances are hard for him, financially speaking, so he suddenly marries for money. When Ahmet finds out about what happened, beats and banishes her. She is rescued from Ahmet's hands by her employer (she works as a maid for a very rich man), Ali Ihsan.

The heroes lives change suddenly but their love is stronger than anything. Until they are together again, many events are to be gone through, by both of them.
