Summary/Abstract: Marriage structure of the population is one of the basic demographic indicators because of the importance that has for the birth rate and population replacement. In this paper we have analyzed data from the registers of marriages of local offices in the village Temska. Data of the marriage date, place of birth of the spouses, year of birth of the spouses, the data on the distance traveled from the place of birth to the place of marriage, as well as data on the number of divorces were collected. Analyses of these data is the most important part of this paper. The results show that the Temska is in the serious depopulation problem. The constant decline in population automatically caused rapid aging of the population. This is also connected to emigration and most certainly with the decline of the marriage rate. This problem of depopulation is at the beginning so it is necessary to undertake certain measures in order to prevent and stop this negative trend.
