According to the portal “Volgograd-online,” a young man from Tajikistan married a local resident solely for citizenship.
In Volgograd, the prosecutor’s office insisted on the divorce of the Tajik and the local resident.
The court recognized their marriage as fictitious. According to the court, the young migrant married an older woman only for the sake of Russian citizenship.
It is reported that 32-year-old Akhrorjon from Tajikistan married a 51-year-old resident of Volgograd.
From the case materials, it follows that on November 18, 2022, a marriage was concluded between a citizen of the Russian Federation and a citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan. At the end of the year, the Tajik applied to the Federal Migration Service of Russia in the Volgograd region for a temporary residence permit without quota consideration, and in October 2023, he submitted an application for citizenship of the Russian Federation through a simplified procedure.
As a result, Akhrorjon obtained Russian citizenship based on his marriage to a Russian woman.
However, it turned out that the marriage was fictitious. The court established that the spouses did not live together, did not manage a common household, did not have a joint budget, did not support each other financially, did not introduce each other to their close relatives, and did not capture moments of their life together in photos or videos.
The court also decided that a criminal case should be initiated against the Volgograd resident for organizing illegal migration.
The court’s decision has not yet entered into legal force and can be appealed, as noted in the statement.
