Definition:
Marital status is defined as the legal conjugal status of each individual in relation to the marriage laws or customs of the country. The basic classification of the population by marital status includes: never married, married, widowed and not remarried, divorced and not remarried. Categories of registered/legal partnerships and legally separated persons are also shown for the countries where the legislation includes provisions for these statuses.

In this table the category ''Never married'' includes persons who have never been married or in a registered partnership. Category ''Persons whose legal union was legally dissolved'' includes all the persons whose marriage ended with a divorce procedure and all the persons whose registered partnership ended with a legal procedure. Category ''Persons whose legal union ended with the death of the partner'' includes all the persons whose marriage or registered partnership ended with the death of the partner.
