MARRIAGES
AND DIVORCES
Introduction
Information
on marriages presented in this report was tabulated from items reported
on marriage certificates filed with the New Jersey State Registrar for
marriages which occurred in the calendar year 1997. Divorce information
was obtained from the Chancery Division of the New Jersey Superior Court.
Marriages and divorces are recorded by place of occurrence or judgment;
therefore, all marriage and divorce data presented in this report encompass
events that occurred in New Jersey, regardless of the place of residence
of the participants. Since no mechanism for interstate exchange of resident
marriage and divorce data exists, out-of-state events involving New
Jersey residents are not included.
