Main statistical findings

The marital status in Cyprus, as recorded at the Census of Population of 2011

According to the Census of Population of 2011, 64,6% of people aged 20 and over were married, while 23,9% were single persons who were never married. A percentage of 5,8% were widowed and a lower percentage of 4,9% were divorced.

By comparing these results to the results of the Census of Population of 2001, it was observed that in 2011 there was a rise in the percentages of single and divorced persons, while the percentage of married people decreased.

Latest developments in marriage statistics in Cyprus

In the past few years, a large number of foreigners who married in Cyprus by civil marriage were not residing in Cyprus. In particular, out of 9.031 civil marriages celebrated in 2013, only 1.841 were civil marriages of residents of Cyprus. As from 2003, it has been possible to distinguish between civil marriages of residents and non-residents. For the purposes of this article, statistics on marriages from this point onwards will refer to the marriages of residents only.

In 2013, 5.493 marriages of residents were celebrated in Cyprus, recording a crude marriage rate of 6,4 per 1.000 inhabitants. The highest number of marriages during the past decade was recorded in 2007, when 6.332 marriages took place corresponding to a crude marriage rate of 8,3.

The age at first marriage increased during the past years, from 30,5 for males and 27,8 for females in 2003, to 31,1 and 29,0 in 2013[1] respectively.

The majority of marriages (3.652 or approximately 66%), were church marriages. Civil marriages of residents of Cyprus numbered 1.841 in 2013, constituting a proportion of 34% of the total marriages of residents. In most of the cases of civil marriages (47,1%), the groom and the bride were of foreign nationality and only for 20,3% of the civil marriages, both the groom and bride were Cypriot nationals.
