Orthodox Church Proposes Stalin-Era Divorce Rules

Lukyanov stated that a good example is the 1944 decree of the USSR, which complicated the divorce procedure in the country.

Consensus

The Russian Orthodox Church proposed using Soviet-era methods to reduce divorces.
The proposal was made during the Eastern Economic Forum.
The speaker was Fyodor Lukyanov, head of the Patriarchal Commission on Family, Motherhood, and Childhood.
The proposal included making divorce economically and administratively difficult.
The 1944 USSR Decree (Decree No. 118) was cited as a historical model.
The decree previously required court approval for divorce and introduced family-based tax incentives.
The Church also advocated for making abortions economically and socially marginal.
The Church emphasized the importance of family for national spiritual and moral stability.

The proposal included introducing a marital capital that increases with years of marriage and using it to reduce mortgage debt for families with four or five children. — riamo
