This is according to statistics available from the Registration Department showing the country recorded an almost 50 per cent decline in marriages over nearly a decade – from 3 676 marriages in 1996, to 1 925 last year.

Speaking to the SUNDAY SUN, district superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene Reverend Dr Orlando Seale acknowledged that Barbadians were moving away from traditional marriage. (AD/LT)
