In the Voronezh region, the registry office and Orthodox priests are fighting divorce together
The Voronezh diocese and the regional registry office signed a cooperation agreement, the purpose of which is to fight divorce. As part of the agreement, a special office has been allocated in each registry office, where priests hold conversations with those who intend to start a family and with those who are going to divorce. An interview with a priest is not mandatory, but there have been no cases of refusal, according to the head of the city's Wedding Palace, Lyubov Shishkina.
According to a priest who works in such a waiting room, one married couple, after talking with him, has already withdrawn the application for divorce.
