In the Chistopol pre-trial detention center, a convicted person and his wife were married for the first time.

      The ceremony took place in the prayer room of the pre-trial detention center. For the first time, a wedding ceremony was held for a convict and his lawful wife at the pre-trial detention center No. 5 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan. The ceremony took place in the prayer room of the detention center. The sacrament was performed by the head of the diocesan department for prison ministry, Priest Timofey Matashov. The very possibility of a wedding ceremony within the walls of the detention center is an exceptional phenomenon, and Father Timofey did not hide the fact that this event is not only rare but also spiritually significant for both spouses. Before exchanging wedding vows, the couple confessed and took communion — everything was done according to strict Orthodox canons. According to the convict's wife, the decision to marry was a conscious one.
