“According to the law, marriage and state registration of marriage are carried out within one month and no later than 12 months after the date of submission of the joint application for marriage to the registry office,” says lawyer Vyacheslav Golenev. The need to reduce the monthly period has been discussed for a long time. However, it should be noted that even today the law allows, if there are valid reasons, to reduce this period.
According to him, there are a number of special circumstances, taking into account that the head of the registry office has the right to reduce the monthly period established for state registration of marriage. This is a pregnancy, the birth of a child, an immediate threat to the life of one of the parties, a summons from the military registration and enlistment office for mobilization.
“This list is not exhaustive,” the lawyer emphasizes. “In addition, the legislator determined that, if there are good reasons, the civil registry may allow the marriage to be celebrated within one month from the date of submission of the marriage application.” marriage. In practice, the heads of the civil registry office usually include reasons such as: departure on a long business trip, short-term leave of a military personnel.” But special circumstances must be documented. For example, bring a certificate from the hospital. Or a request for a business trip. If the proposal is supported, the lovers will be able to expedite the matter without additional information.
The law still allows, if there are good reasons, to get married faster
As for divorce, if a couple does not have children together and both agree to separate, the registry office will cross out the stamp in the passport without delay. But if someone objects, then we will have to go to court. “If at a hearing both spouses reach a mutual agreement to dissolve the marriage, the court will issue a divorce decree after the first meeting,” says Viacheslav Golenev. “If one of the spouses refuses to divorce, the court will give a period of one to three months for conciliation.” If the opinion does not change at the second meeting, the lawyer continues, the court will decide on the divorce and issue the corresponding sentence.
