Tlaxcala, el segundo estado con menos matrimonios en México

The low level of formal marital registration in Tlaxcala reveals a profound social and demographic transformation, in which the civil registry is losing prominence to de facto unions. This phenomenon, driven by labor informality and associated costs, reflects a cultural shift in the perception of cohabitation that goes beyond mere statistical trends. The rising age at marriage and the prevalence of academic homogamy highlight how education and the labor market are reshaping the traditional family structure. The inclusion of same-sex couples, albeit a minority, indicates that progressive legislation does not necessarily accelerate immediate formalization, suggesting that social acceptance does not always translate into bureaucratic procedures. This case is relevant for open data because it demonstrates how official indicators can obscure complex social realities if they are not properly contextualized. Analyzing these statistics helps to understand the gaps between public policy and citizens’ practices, offering researchers a critical perspective on how to measure genuine inclusion in societies that are evolving faster than their administrative records.
