In 2014 the number of divorces increased dramatically in Crimea. It is stated in the report of the “Children’s Rights Ombudsman” of Crimea Irina Klyueva.
The document specifies that the divorce rate is 175% of the same period of the last year. In particular, in 2012 2322 divorces were registered in Crimea, 2128 – in 2013, but in 2014 – 5033.
“The appearance of single-parent families is an alarm sign affecting the education of children. There are problems arising after the divorce and child’s rights to communicate with all relatives are violated in every second case,” the report says.
According to the ombudsman, 16.3 thousand marriages were made in Crimea in 2014.
