Saturday, January 19, 1974
In the New Territories, registered marriages increased significantly
with a total of 3,715 marriages celebrated, up by 770 or 26 per cent as
compared with 2,945 in 1972. There are now four full-time registries and
fourteen part-time registries operating in the New Territories.
The two principal marriage registries at the City Hall and the Kowloon
Government Offices remain the most popular registries with 43.6 per cent of all
registry marriages celebrated there. Another popular registry was the San
Po Kong Registry, where 2,904 marriages took place during the year.
The City Hall Marriage Registry continued to operate on Sunday
mornings during the year and a total of 531 Sunday morning marriages were
performed. In many cases, Sunday was chosen because it happened to be a
lucky day according to the Chinese calendar; in others simply because of
convenience for work or other reasons.
