President Sadyr Japarov addressed residents of the Sokuluk district, where he emphasized the importance of officially formalizing relationships. He urged women not to live in an unregistered marriage, citing the example of a local resident's appeal.

Consequences of an Unregistered Marriage

The situation described by the resident showed the difficulties people face in a civil union. The woman said she lived with her partner without an official marriage registration from 2018 to 2024, and the couple has three children.

According to the woman, two cars and livestock were acquired with the money they earned together. When she proposed buying a house in 2024, her partner refused, pointing out that without a marriage certificate she could not claim the property.

The President's Position

If you had been in a legal marriage, I would right now immediately instruct the authorities: take it, recover the alimony, split the property in half and help get a share for the three children. When you are in a civil union, we can do nothing
President Sadyr Japarov

The President explained that with a legally registered marriage, the relevant authorities can help with alimony collection and consider the issue of property division. However, in the case of a civil union, he said, such help cannot be provided.
