YEREVAN, May 12. /ARKA/. On Thursday, Parliament of Armenia adopted
the changes and amendments in the law "On acts of civil registration"
discussing the dates of marriage registration.
Presenting the amendments, Armenian Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasyan
said that the changes suggest to reduce the dates of marriage
registration in Armenia from one month to seven days. Today it is 30
days for Armenian citizens (from the moment of submitting application
for registration of marriage) and three months - for foreign citizens.
He said that the dates of the law comes from Soviet times when long
time of marriage registration was given, whereas in USA the marriage
can be registered in 15 minutes.
The changes envisaged by the law allow to minimize the dates of
marriage registration only by checking the existence of other marriages
of the couples.
Quick registration can take place in case of birth of common child,
pregnancy, military service and serious illness.
The amendments will include also permission of regional inhabitants
to register the marriages not only in the regions but also in Yerevan.
In 2010, over 17.9 thousand marriages were registered in Armenia
which is by 4.2% less than in 2009. In 2010, the number of registered
divorces was 2.9 thousand - 5.9% more than in 2009.
The age of registered couples was increased. In 2010 average age of
fiancees registering marriages was 29 years and brides - 24.9 years.
The age of fiancees registering marriage the first time was 28.1
years and bribes - 24.4 years. Some years ago the age of bribes was
21 years and fiancees - 26 years.
