A blood test for the presence of drugs and a certificate of the absence of HIV infection may become mandatory for marriage in Ingushetia. The authorities are going to take such measures together with the clergy.
So far, the innovation has been approved in the Malgobek district. If the initiative is supported in other areas, it will be implemented by September of this year.
Recently, the head of Ingushetia, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov, instructed the government, together with the clergy, to work out the issue in connection with the breakup of a large number of families. Most divorces in the Russian Federation in 2022 were recorded in Ingushetia - 2542 per thousand registered marriages, according to Rosstat. In second place is Chechnya, where 2,069 divorces per thousand marriages were revealed. The third was Dagestan with an indicator of 1967.
