Which city in our country do you think has the highest number of marriages? According to statistics, the southern capital leads: in 2024, Almaty registered 19,778 marriages, as reported by Tengri Life.
According to the branch of the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" in Almaty, approximately 160 marriages are registered daily in the city's district civil registry offices. The average age of couples applying for marriage is 27 years for men and 25 years for women.
At the same time, the institution notes that the number of divorces in the city remains high. Since the beginning of the year, 4,429 couples have dissolved their union.
"Young people most often file for divorce. We try to save the marriage, giving them a month to think and express themselves. Out of every 10 applications submitted, 3-4 couples continue their family life, opting against divorce. We consider this a result of our efforts," says a civil registry employee.
It is important to remember that to get married, an application must be submitted 15 days before the desired wedding date. This can be done online through the electronic government portal or the BVU application. If the future newlyweds wish to register their relationship at the civil registry in a ceremonial setting, they can request an additional service for conducting the ceremony.
