Aşk-ı Memnu (English: Forbidden Love) is a Turkish romantic drama television series originally broadcast on Kanal D between 2008 and 2010. It is an adaptation of Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil's 1899 novel Aşk-ı Memnu set in contemporary Istanbul instead of the novel's late 19th-century setting.
Adnan Ziyagil lives an idyllic life on the shore of Istanbul's Bosporus strait with his two children, teenage daughter Nihal and eleven-year-old son Bülent, his nephew Behlül, and various house staff. Behlül, son of Adnan's cousin, moved in after his parents died in a car accident when he was young. Ms Deniz Decourton is the children's nanny and she has been living in the household long before the death of Adnan's wife.
Since Adnan is a wealthy widower, he attracts the attention of Firdevs Yöreoğlu, who has two daughters and has recently lost her husband. Peyker Yöreoğlu (Firdevs's eldest daughter) marries Nihat Önal. While at their wedding, Adnan and Firdevs' youngest daughter, Bihter Yöreoğlu bond over the loss of their loved ones. Adnan falls in love with the much younger and beautiful Bihter. He proposes to her and she agrees to marry him even though she knows that her mother fancies him. There is no love lost between mother and daughter as Bihter blames her mother for her father's death. Firdevs is also not a favorite of Nihat's father, the rich but cunning businessman Hilmi Önal. Hilmi dislikes Firdevs because she is greedy, cunning and self-centered.; he vows to make her life difficult.
Despite Firdevs' initial opposition, Adnan and Bihter get married. Hilmi disrupts their wedding and warns Adnan that he has made a big mistake by marrying Firdevs' daughter Bihter. Hilmi tells Adnan that Firdevs will take advantage of his family just like she took advantage of his family when Peyker married Nihat, but Adnan ignores him. Bihter begins to settle in the Ziyagil's house and tries to win the friendship of Adnan's two children.
Soon, Firdevs comes to live with the family.
Adnan offers Nihat a job in his office, to which Nihat agrees and Hilmi becomes furious. He swears to ruin Nihat's and Adnan's lives.
Nihal is not very happy with her father's decision of marrying Bihter. She wanted him to marry her French nanny Ms Deniz.
