The number of marriages in Ukraine decreased by 15% - Opendatabot
Kyiv • UNN
In the first half of 2024, 15% fewer marriages were concluded in Ukraine compared to last year. At the same time, the number of divorces increased by 1.5 times, and the number of marriage agreements increased by a quarter.
Ukrainians are divorcing more often, marrying less often, and entering into prenuptial agreements more often. In the first six months of 2024, more than 72 thousand marriages were concluded, which is 15% less than in the same period last year. Written by UNN with reference to Opendatabot.
In the first six months of 2024, Ukrainians created 72,766 new families, down 15% from the same period last year and down one-third from 2022. After the wedding boom seen in the first year of the full-scale invasion, the number of marriages has been declining annually. This year, for the first time, the number of new families was lower than before the start of the great war.
However, new families are being formed more consciously: Ukrainians are increasingly entering into marriage contracts. Since the beginning of the year, 3,768 notarized forms for marriage agreements have been used, a quarter more than in the same period last year. Kyiv remains the leader in the number of marriages, with 9,392 new families. Dnipropetrovs'k region is in second place, with 7,076 marriages registered, and Odesa region rounds out the top three with 4,896 new families.
After a decline in the first year of the full-scale invasion, the number of divorces has been steadily increasing over the next two years. In the first six months of 2024, 15,578 divorces were registered, which is 1.5 times more than in the same period last year and 18% more than in the first half of 2021. Kyiv also leads in the anti-rating by the number of divorces with 2,118 divorces. The top three also includes Dnipro region (1,404 divorces) and Kharkiv region, where 1,148 couples divorced. Among the regions not affected by hostilities and not occupied, Zakarpattia region recorded the fewest divorces - 224 cases, and the fewest marriages this year were in Chernivtsi region, where 1,376 new families were registered.
Recall
More than 186 thousand marriages were registered in Ukraine in 2023, according to the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. Divorces and prenups have increased, but are still fewer than before the start of the Great War.
