Marital status

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A person's marital status describes their relationship with a significant other. Some common statuses are: married, single, separated, divorced, widowed, engaged, invalid, annulled, cohabitating, deceased. The number of children may also be specified and, in this case, becomes synonymous with family status. For example: married with no children. Marital status is often a question on censuses, credit card applications, and many different polls.
