The unique date of 24-12-24 has drawn significant attention in Malé, with the Family Court scheduling 52 marriages to be officiated today.
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.
The popularity of today’s date underscores the cultural significance of striking or memorable dates for special occasions.
