Eşlerden birine sosyal güvenlik veya sosyal yardım kurumlarınca yapılmış olan toptan ödemeler veya iş gücünün kaybı dolayısıyla ödenmiş olan tazminat, toptan ödeme veya tazminat yerine ilgili sosyal güvenlik veya sosyal yardım kurumunca uygulanan usule göre ömür boyunca irat bağlanmış olsaydı, mal rejiminin sona erdiği tarihte bundan sonraki döneme ait iradın peşin sermayeye çevrilmiş değeri ne olacak idiyse, tasfiyede o miktarda kişisel mal olarak hesaba katılır.
