澳大利亚统计局公布的最新数据显示，2025年10月25日成为澳大利亚最受欢迎的结婚日期，当日共举办2,035场婚礼[1]。这一对称日期（25/10/25）吸引了大量新人扎堆举办婚礼。然而，更宏观的趋势却令人担忧——全年婚姻登记持续走低。2025年澳大利亚共登记118,804对新婚夫妇，较2024年下降2,040对，跌幅达1.7%[1]。
婚姻率指标进一步证实了这一下行趋势。2025年每1,000名16岁以上人口的婚姻率为5.3，低于2023年和2024年的5.5[1]。与二十年前相比，这一指标跌幅更为明显——2005年澳大利亚的婚姻率为6.9[1]。其中，25-29岁和30-34岁年龄组的结婚人数下降幅度最大[1]，男性平均结婚年龄为32.7岁，女性为31.2岁[1]。
离婚方面出现异动。2025年澳大利亚离婚率为2.2，较2024年的2.1有所上升，增幅4.1%[1]，全年共有49,158例离婚[1]。婚姻中位存续期为9.4年，较2024年的9.3年略微增加[1]。此外，同性和非二元婚姻占所有婚姻的3.9%，这一比例已连续第三年保持不变[1]。
Australia's Bureau of Statistics has released fresh data on marriage and divorce patterns, revealing that October 25, 2025—a palindromic date (25/10/25)—emerged as the nation's most popular wedding day, with 2,035 ceremonies scheduled for that date [1].
The statistical snapshot paints a broader picture of declining marriage rates coupled with a reversal in divorce trends. A total of 118,804 couples married in 2025, representing a decline of 2,040 marriages compared to 2024, or a 1.7 percent decrease [1]. The marriage rate fell to 5.3 per 1,000 people aged 16 and over, down from 5.5 in both 2023 and 2024, and substantially lower than the 6.9 recorded in 2005 [1]. Conversely, the divorce rate climbed to 2.2 per 1,000 population in 2025, up 4.1 percent from 2.1 in the previous year, with 49,158 divorces registered [1].
Marriage patterns have shifted across age groups, with those aged 25 to 29 and 30 to 34 experiencing the steepest reductions in marriages [1]. Men married at an average age of 32.7 years, while women averaged 31.2 years [1]. Same-sex and non-binary marriages accounted for 3.9 percent of all marriages, maintaining the same proportion for the third consecutive year [1]. The median duration of marriages stood at 9.4 years in 2025, a marginal increase from 9.3 years in 2024 [1].
