War Time Boosts Marriages in Great Britain Says Statistical Society
Sir Bernard Malet, addressing the Statistical Society, cites Daily Chronicle figures showing 200,000 Britons who would not have wed married between Aug 1914 and Jun 1917. 1915 set a peak marriage rate of 19.4, with Hungary and German states seeing large declines in marriages and infant mortality rising in some German cities. The report notes a higher male birth ratio in England, no rise in illegitimacy, and overall population changes tied to war losses.
