Changing the deadline for recording marriage should be based on in-depth analysis

At the twenty-ninth plenary session of the Senate, the law “On amendments to the Family Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan” was discussed.

According to the amendments introduced by law, it is indicated that medical examination is voluntary for married persons over 50 years of age or married persons with a child (children) in the middle, as well as for a pregnant woman and a person who recognizes his unborn child as his child.

At the same time, according to the amendments to the family code, it is envisaged to cancel the one-month period of registration of marriage and conclude a marriage after the application to the bodies for registration of Civil Status Acts and the medical examination in the prescribed manner.

However, when introducing this norm, the proposals were not sufficiently substantiated, as well as the experience of national and foreign countries was studied and analyzed in depth.

Based on the above, it was decided by the senators to reject the law “On amendments to the Family Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan”.
