In the past few days, civil affairs departments in many places have announced the 2023 marriage big data.
According to Huaibei **, in 2023, a total of 21,179 marriage registrations will be handled in Huaibei, Anhui Province, a year-on-year increase of 9187%；4,618 divorces were registered, a year-on-year increase of 3806%。
Judging from the age distribution of marriage registration in Huaibei City, residents aged 25-29 will still be the main force of marriage registration in 2023, and the proportion of men and women in this age group will reach 3354% and 3016%；The proportion of marriages in the age groups of 30-39 and over 40 years old is increasing.

Marriage and family counselling services have shown "new" results. Since the implementation of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China on January 1, 2021, civil affairs departments at all levels in the city have conscientiously implemented the cooling-off period policy for divorce and carried out marriage and family counseling services. In 2023, a total of 8,614 divorce applications will be accepted in Huaibei City, 8,250 marriage and family counseling will be carried out, and 4,618 divorce registrations will be actually handled.
In Xuchang, Henan Province, a total of 24,222 couples will register their marriages in 2023, exceeding 4,997 couples in 2022; The average age of first marriage registration is 32 for men and 31 for women, respectively, and has not fluctuated much compared with the previous two years.
In Liuyang, Hunan, 5,443 couples will be registered for marriage in 2023, which is the first time since 2015 that the decline has rebounded, an increase of 458 couples compared with 2022.
According to Liuyang**, many reasons have stimulated the public's enthusiasm for marriage. "The decline in the number of marriage registrations in Liuyang has lasted for many years, and it will stop falling in 2023 and rebound slightly, mainly due to the impact of the general environment. Zhang Jian, director of the Marriage Center of the Liuyang Civil Affairs Bureau, analyzed that since 1989, the birth rate of Liuyang began to decline, and has maintained this trend in the past 30 years. "In 2023, the demand for marriage postponed during the epidemic will be released, and in recent years, the implementation of a series of policies to encourage marriage and childbirth has also stimulated people's enthusiasm for marriage and childbirth to a certain extent. ”
Liuyang** reported that the Year of the Dragon (2024) is a "year without spring", which has also brought a certain impact. Although this is caused by the derivation of the calendar between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, and has nothing to do with good fortune and misfortune, weddings and funerals, many citizens are still affected by the views of social ** and short** platforms about "widow years are not suitable for marriage", and get married in advance in the Year of the Rabbit (2023).
CCTV News recently said that experts said that the statement that the "widow's year" is not suitable for marriage is absurd, a superstitious statement, and has no scientific basis. The "no spring year" is just a coincidence between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, and the existence or absence of the beginning of spring is only caused by the time difference between different calendars, and will not affect personal life and marital happiness.
The number of marriage registrations in Suzhou, Changzhou, and Wuxi in Jiangsu Province will also increase in 2023.
According to the big data of marriage registration in Suzhou, a total of 57,920 marriage registrations will be handled in 2023, an increase of 10,153 couples over the previous year and a year-on-year increase of 2126%。
In 2023, 24,296 couples will enter the marriage hall in Changzhou, an increase of 2,858 couples compared with 2022, an increase of 13 year-on-year33%。
In Wuxi, 30,746 couples tied the knot in 2023, an increase of 3,936 couples from 2022 and a five-year high. According to the "Wuxi Release", judging from the annual data of marriage registration, it will return to the "3" prefix for the first time in 2023 since it fell to the prefix "2" for the first time in 2019.
There has also been a decline in the number of marriage registrations in some places. In 2023, 3,738 couples in Danyang, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province registered their marriages, a decrease of 16 couples compared to 2022 and a decrease of 621 couples compared to 2021.
According to Danyang** report, Danyang Marriage Registration Office Wei Huafei introduced that the number of marriages in Danyang is decreasing year by year for the following three reasons: first, the decrease in the population of marriageable age, second, many young people in Danyang choose to work abroad, and third, the social and economic pressure has been greater in recent years.
According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in the first three quarters of 2023, 5.69 million couples were registered for marriage nationwide. Looking at the annual data, it reached 1346 in 2013After the peak of 90,000 couples, the number of marriages fell for nine consecutive years. Among them, the number of marriages in China fell below 10 million in 2019, 9 million in 2020, 8 million in 2021, and 7 million in 2022, 68330,000 pairs, a decrease of 80 from the previous year30,000 pairs, down about 105%。In comparison, the number of marriage registrations in the first three quarters of 2023 increased by 24 compared to the same period in 202250,000 pairs.
According to the first financial report, Dong Yuquan, a population expert and a special researcher of the Guangdong Provincial ** Counselor's Office, said that in 2022, especially in the fourth quarter, due to the impact of the epidemic and other factors, some people postponed their marriage to the following year, so the number of marriages in 2023 will increase. "Of course, this postponement effect is a phased phenomenon. ”
Dong Yuquan said that looking forward to the future, although the number of marriages will increase in 2023, due to factors such as the decrease in the number of marriageable people and the postponement of the age of first marriage, it remains to be seen whether the number of marriages in China will continue to increase in the future.
