While I was going through an application, I came across this. Hope these marital status words will be of some help for your English or understanding of marital status. 1️⃣
Common law - a legal union created without a formal ceremony or license. There is another word to describe this marital status -
cohabitation. Tha main difference between the two is that
common law partners must have lived together for at least one year, while
cohabitating couples do not have the same legal rights and obligations as married couples.
2️⃣
Divorced - a person whose marriage has been legally ended.
3️⃣
Married - a person who is legally united to another person as a spouse.
4️⃣
Separated - a couple who are living apart from each other, but have not yet finalized a legal divorce.
5️⃣
Single - me 😅
6️⃣
Unknown - the marital status of an individual is not known or has not been disclosed.
7️⃣
Widowed - a person whose spouse has died.
