“It is not normal to have so many divorces” — Fazil Mustafa

As we have reported, 11,422 marriages and 6,443 divorces were recorded in the first four months of this year.

In Azerbaijan, 11,422 marriages and 6,443 divorces were recorded in the first 4 months of this year.

The State Statistical Committee released information regarding this.

It was noted that compared to the corresponding period of 2025, the number of marriages per 1,000 people decreased from 4.4 to 3.4, and the number of divorces decreased from 2.0 to 1.9.

elchi reports that in a statement to azxeber.com regarding this, Milli Majlis deputy Fazil Mustafa said that the current number of divorces is not normal:

“It is not normal to have so many divorces. There are both artificial factors and divorces occurring in line with the current state of society. Therefore, the sociological aspect of this is being widely discussed in society. We must strengthen the promotion of a healthy and good family model. People should know that forming and breaking up a family should not be so easy. In any case, very serious discussions must be held in this direction. We must oppose the emergence of opportunities for such an increase in divorces in any way.”

“The continuation of a family and the preservation of family stability in some form are not taken seriously. This leads to major problems. Social problems do not play a major role here. Because people who respect and love each other can manage to live by supporting each other even on an island, in the most difficult and desolate environment. The reasons for divorces should be viewed more as a matter of mental incompatibility. We must correctly explain the promotion of a healthy family to people.”
