Summary/Abstract: In our study, we analyse the changes in the marriage and divorce movement of the Hungarian population in Slovakia between 2001 and 2020 against the background of the marriage and divorce movement in Slovakia as a whole. We use registered and adjusted data for our analysis. The analysis of these adjusted data reveals trends in the marriage and divorce movements of the Hungarian population in Slovakia that differ significantly from the registered data. The marriage rates of the Hungarian population living within the Slovak state framework were less favourable (lower) than the national rates during the period under review, while the divorce rates were more favourable (lower). The Hungarian marriage and divorce rates were lower than the national rates. The mixed marriage rate among Hungarians is higher than the national rate, as is the mixed divorce rate. At the same time, the differences are significantly smaller on the basis of adjusted data than on the basis of registered data.
