Of these, 16 ceremonies are set during official court hours, while the remaining 36 will take place after hours. This single-day total represents an unusually high number of weddings. The trend seems set to continue, as the next two days also have a substantial number of ceremonies planned.
Recent marriage statistics reflect a steady pace of nuptials in the Maldives. In November, 192 marriages were officiated, following 205 in October. On the other hand, divorce rates show a decline, with 148 divorces recorded in October and 95 in November.
