The number of marriages in Indonesia drastically decreased in 2020. Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded 1.79 million marriages last year, a 9.14% decrease compared to 2019's 1.97 million. This is the lowest number in the last five years.
The decrease in the number of marriages in 2020 is inseparable from the widespread COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Aceh Barat Regency Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kanwil), restrictions on public activities during the pandemic discouraged many couples from getting married. Meanwhile, the Kanwil Kemenag assesses that the declining economy during the pandemic was a factor in the reduced number of marriages.
