Experts have calculated how often Yamal residents register their relationship. It turned out that 3.5 thousand marriages were registered in 2018. This is more than a thousand less than a year earlier. Such data were published by Tyumenstat.
Thus, the number of weddings in the Autonomous Okrug decreased by 23%. 2018 data was the lowest in 13 years. For example, in 2011, almost six thousand weddings were played.
Experts from Tyumenstat investigated the age of Yamal people entering into marriage. So, in 2018, very few early marriages were recorded. Last year, only two young men under 18 legalized relationships with women. Among the girls, ten minors got married.
The most common age for a wedding in Yamal is 25-34 years old. If we talk about late marriages, they are more often registered by men than women. Last year, more than a thousand men over 35 played a wedding, while women who registered a marriage were of this age - 897.
Note that in 2018, 2.9 thousand couples divorced in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. This information is reported by the Ministry of Justice.
