Ever-married person  (EVER-MARRIED person)


The population may be divided into different groups by conjugal status 1, marital status 1 or marital condition 1. Single 2 persons, bachelors 3 (men) and spinsters 4 (women), are those who have never been married; they are also sometimes called the never-married 2 class. The class of married persons 5, married men 6 and married women 7, consists of those who have been married and whose marriages have not been dissolved (513-3). All persons except single persons are ever-married persons 8.
