The lovers got married in the Karaganda pretrial detention center

Convict Kirill got married in Institution No. 61. However, you can't count on a lavish ceremony with a hundred guests. It's easy to guess that getting married in a pretrial detention center is not like a regular wedding. You can't choose a registry office and invite all your relatives and friends. The general procedure for registering a marriage is applied here with restrictions.

Kirill is serving a sentence for theft, he has about a year and a half left on his sentence. The young couple have already made plans for life after his release.

- My wife and I lived in a civil marriage for 2 years, I couldn't even imagine that our wedding would take place in a pretrial detention center... She always dreamed of a lavish celebration, a white dress and many invited guests. After my release, I will definitely fulfill my beloved's dream, - said Kirill.

Also, after the convict got married, the administration of the institution provided a pay phone for his relatives. Kirill used the pay phone to call his mother first. Kirill's mother was very happy and congratulated her son with tears in her eyes. A mother is a person who can replace everyone, but no one can ever replace her.
