The President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, signed amendments to the law “On State Fees” on October 1, according to which the state fee for divorce has doubled.
Now, the state fee for divorce at the request of one spouse has increased from 75 to 150 somoni.
Divorce by mutual consent has risen from 375 to 750 somoni.
Divorce by court decision will now cost 1,050 somoni, up from 525 somoni previously.
