~ Attacking the. divorce

MOSCOW (AP) — Bet-
ween 10 per cent and 15 per
cent of engaged couples get
cold feet and call off their
marriages during the Soviet
Union's compulsor one:
month waiting period, says
a recent study.

The study, published in
the book Marriage and the
‘Famil Today, and reported
recently in the newspaper
Nedelya, said the couples
most often blame , ‘spiritual
incompatibility”. or dif-
ficulties in finding housing.

Under Soviet law, a couple
must apply for a marriage
licence at a government
registration office and then
wait one month before
returning to receive the

licence.
The stud y found that 10
per cent of couples in the

city of Vilnus, 11 per cent in
Moscow and 15 per cent in
Kiev give up their plans and

there

blamed

never return for the second
visit.

Of 246 such couples who
filled out a questionnaire, 78
per cent had known each
other less than six months
before deciding to get
married. Less than half had
the wholehearted approval
of their parents.

The problems of in-
decision appeared to affect
couples ranging in age from
25 to 35 more than they did
younger couples.

"HOUSING NOTED

Among the reasons cited
for the last-minute decision
not to get married, 25 per
cent of those polled cited
spiritual incompatibility
and lack of love, 17 per cent
had difficulties in findin a
housing, 18 per cent sai
been a forced
parting, 10 per cent charged
Heceil seven per cent
physical —in-
compatibility and three per

cent had suffered a sudden

iness.

The author of the Nedelya
review of the study con-
cluded that ‘a consideration
period is a good measure to
prevent accidental and
unprepared marriages. I
think it would be useful to
extend the period to three to
six months.”

This might serve still
further to weed out ill-

matched couples and cut- .

back on the Soviet Union's
soaring divorce rate.

In 1975, the last year for
which complete figures are
available, there were 10,7
million marriages and
almost onethird as many
divorces—3.1 million.

Housing’ difficulties
remain a problem, with
most unmarried Russians
continuing to live with their
parents, and newly married

_ couples often unable. to find .

their own apartments.
