"As a result of the increased number of unregistered families within the last decades in Belarus the number of children born to women not married officially has been growing fast. Nowadays every fourth or fifth child in the country is born outside a registered marriage. Still, experts remark that not all children born outside a marriage are children of single mothers. A considerable part of them is children born in a de facto family where the union has not been formalized. About 8% of marriages are unregistered [and] about 20% of children are born outside a registered marriage" (para. 13).
