Besides affecting the other aspects of life severely, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the number of registration for court marriages in the Dehradun district too which has declined post covid from 3,161 registrations the last year to 1,910 registrations this year comparatively.
When people planning to organise wedding functions amid the Covid-19 pandemic are getting worried due to fluctuating guidelines of the administration and some have even postponed the wedding ceremonies, the number of registration for court marriages has also decreased during this period. The sub-registrar of Dehradun district, Arvind Kumar informed that since no work was done in registrar office for about two months due to the State wide lockdown, the marriage registration in Dehradun district started from May 8 and since then, a total of 1,910 people have registered across the district and got married. He further informed that there were a total of 5,468 marriage registrations last year that include 3,161 registrations from the month of May 8, 2019 to November 30, 2019.
Comparing the marriage registrations from May 8 to November 30 to the last year for the same time period, there are about 1251 fewer marriage registrations this year. The officials said that the pandemic definitely affected the number of marriage registrations this year and it appears that the numbers will not increase excessively in the next two to three months too.
