Speaking at the roundtable, Agiya Nakhchivanli said that civil marriages in the country often lead to complications.
“The reason of that is non-compliance of the legislation. People are often satisfied with kyabin (religious registration of marriage). However, it does not have legal force. The number of families established on a healthy relationship is reducing in society. There is an increase in the number of divorces,” she added.
Ahliman Amiraslanov said that the family institute is experiencing serious problems, and the society should be concerned about this.
