Marriages and divorces

In the life of every person, a big role is played by family and marriage, and divorce can become not only a turning point in your personal life, but also cause changes in your social situation. Contrary to the prevailing myths, almost always divorce - divorce, is negatively reflected in all spheres of life. And, nevertheless, the statistics of marriages and divorces testify that more than half of marriages disintegrate, not having existed for ten years. Sociologists and psychologists have tried to find the main reasons for this phenomenon, with the help of statistical data and surveys of various social groups who are married, but as the study of statistics on marriages and divorces has shown, the results can not be considered unambiguously, and often contradict the reality. For a number of reasons, marriage or divorce is not always formalized, which also distorts the statistics.

Marriage and divorce statistics

In recent years, especially during the economic crisis, there has been a tendency to reduce the number of divorces. It would seem that this should testify to the strengthening of the institution of the family, but sociologists note very different reasons. The worsening of the material condition of most citizens makes them hostages of living together, it is also noted that housing problems play an important role. Compared with the period before the crisis, marriages and divorces in Russia significantly decreased, in addition to material problems, there is a demographic crisis. In terms of the number of divorces, Russia ranks first, the second - Belarus, and Ukraine takes the third place. In the most developed European countries, the number of marriages and divorces is significantly different. For example, Sweden is only 15th in the number of divorces, with about 50% of men and 40% of women not married.

Statistics of marriages and divorces in Ukraine indicate an aggravation of the economic situation, the number of divorces decreased, while the number of people unsatisfied with family relations increased. Statistical data is also affected by the spread of civil marriages, which are not officially registered.

Divorce in a civil marriage

For various reasons, many married couples prefer civil marriage. Getting married and getting divorced without registration is much easier for many reasons. The formal dissolution of marriage is more difficult than divorce in a civil marriage, not only for material reasons, but also because of the social position in society, as in certain circles the marital status affects reputation.

Many prefer civil marriage after an official divorce, trying to avoid repeating previous mistakes. Similarly, relations do not register because of unwillingness to take responsibility, because of uncertainty in a partner or because of financial instability. The economic situation in the country is an important factor that affects the increase the number of civil marriages.

In the legislation of Ukraine and Russia there is no such thing as a civil marriage. But, despite this, Article 74 of the Criminal Code regulates the division of property upon the dissolution of a civil marriage. Part 2 of Art. 21 UK indicates the lack of rights and obligations between a man and a woman, if the marriage is not officially registered. Therefore, the issue of the division of property is resolved in court, and more often in favor of the official owner of the property. To ensure that divorce during a civil marriage did not cause problems, you need to register joint ownership of real estate and other property.

Marriage after divorce

It is believed that remarriage should be stronger than the previous, thanks to the experience gained. But the statistics of marriages and divorces testify to the opposite - repeated marriages break up much more often. Often negative experiences of the first marriage and divorce are projected on a second marriage. Simply speaking, when faced with a problem in the relationship, there is a waiting for the repetition of similar problems with the new partner. For example, if the reason for the divorce was betrayal of the spouse, then the deceived husband will have unreasonable jealousy in marriage with another woman, which in time can cause conflicts and mistrust to each other. Also, the reason for the instability of repeated marriages is a hasty decision, when partners do not converge because of spiritual intimacy, but because they want to get rid of the loneliness that arose after the divorce.

According to statistics, women get married after a divorce is more difficult, especially after 50 years. At the same time, men of this age often create a new family, and marry younger women.

Legal regulation of marriage and divorce

In the legislation of any country there is a family code necessary to protect family relations, as well as to regulate issues related to the rights and duties of spouses in relation to each other and to children. The main problem in divorce is the division of property and the definition of obligations towards minors and children with disabilities.

When the property is divided, many factors are taken into account, but only the property acquired in a joint marriage is subject to the section. It is important to take into account that if the relationship was terminated long before the official dissolution of the marriage, all property acquired during the separation period is also considered joint, and can be divided between the spouses. If the period of limitation of actions has passed from the date of dissolution of marriage (as a rule, 3 years), the right to divide the property is canceled. Therefore, when divorce can not be postponed regulation of legal problems, and immediately submit the necessary statements to resolve disputed issues.

The certificate of marriage after the divorce can be useful for solving the problems associated with changing the name, registration at the place of residence and in a number of other situations. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a certificate or a copy, as well as all court decisions.

When applying for divorce, in most cases, spouses are given time to make a final decision. But only in rare cases the spouses keep their marriage, the divorce decides more than 90%.

In our time, registering a marriage and getting divorced is much easier than before. On the one hand, this avoids suffering due to unsatisfactory family relationships, on the other hand, it negatively affects the responsibility when choosing a partner and often leads to severe psychological trauma not only for spouses, but also for children born in an unhappy marriage. In any case, one should not forget that the goal of a serious relationship is the desire for a happy life in love and harmony, therefore, it is necessary to approach the issue of creating a family responsibly, guided by deep feelings and respect between partners.
