This World Marriage Dataset provides a comparable and up-to-date set of data on the marital status of the population by age and sex for 232 countries or different regions of the world from 1970 to 2019. There are 271605 rows and 9 columns in this dataset. Each row of the dataset represents a specific age group of men, either divorced or married or Single. The columns include:

Sr. No.: A serial number to identify each entry. Country: The country of focus. Age Group: The age range of the surveyed individuals. Sex: The gender of the surveyed individuals. Marital Status: The marital status of the individuals, categorized as either "Divorced" or "Married" or "Single". Data Process: The method used to collect the data. Data Collection (Start Year): The year when data collection began. Data Collection (End Year): The year when data collection ended. Data Source: The source of the data. This dataset helps to understand the marital status distribution among different age groups of men and women in all over the world from 1970 to 2019.

The dataset contains the number of marriages categorized by the age groups of both the bride and the groom. Each record represents a combination of age groups for the bride and groom and the corresponding number of marriages for that combination. A marriage is the act, ceremony or process by which the legal relationship between two persons is formed. The legality of the union may be established by civil, religious or other means as recognised by the laws of the country.

Number of marriages that took place in England and Wales by age, sex, previous partnership status and civil or religious ceremony.

Number of persons who married in a given year and age-specific marriage rate per 1,000 unmarried persons, by legal marital status, gender (when available) and place of occurrence, 1991 to most recent year.

This dataset shows all marriages in Basel-Stadt by date of marriage. All marriages in which the husband was resident in Basel-Stadt at the time of the wedding shall be taken into account. For methodological reasons, the values published here may differ from those in public statistics: In the latter, subsequently reported marriages are counted in the last year not yet concluded. In this record, they are subsequently counted in the year of the wedding date.

Dataset replaced by: http://data.europa.eu/euodp/data/dataset/kYUpewWd81KHgTddinyQ The crude marriage rate is the ratio of the number of marriages during the year to the average population in that year. The value is expressed per 1000 persons.

Abstract

The Marriages and Divorces (MD) dataset is one of three primary sources of of marriage and divorce statistics in South Africa. Unlike the other two sources (population censuses and household sample surveys), the MD dataset is compiled from administrative data and based on continuous recording (i.e., from civil registration systems and administrative records). Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) regularly publishes a series of data on marriages and divorces, with the first dataset in the series beginning in 2006. The most recent dataset in the series is MD 2020.

Marriage data: Data on marriages for citizens and permanent residents are obtained from registered marriage records that are collected through the civil registration systems of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA). South Africa recognizes three types of marriages by law: civil marriages, customary marriages and civil unions. Before 2008, marriage data only covered civil marriages. The registration of customary marriages and civil unions began in 2003 and 2007 respectively. However, from 2008 onwards, Stats SA began publishing available data on customary marriages and civil unions.

Divorce data: Data on divorces are obtained from various regional courts that deal with divorce matters. The data are based on successful divorce cases that have been issued with a decree of divorce by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DoJCD). Divorce cases come from marriages that were registered in different years as well as divorce cases that were filed in different years but whose divorce decrees were granted in the relevant year of collection.

NOTE: although both the data on marriages and divorces are collected in the same year, the data sets are not linked to each other.

Geography is problematic in this dataset as not all the data files have geographic data. The Civil Marriages and Civil Unions data files include a Province of Registration variable, but the Customary Marriages data file does not. There is also no geographical data in the Divorces file. As this data file includes divorce data from only a subset of divorce courts, this lack of geographical information compromises its usability.

A data set of first marriages (including marriage location and ages of spouses at marriage) and lifespans of spouses (including year and location of births and deaths, where known), for marriages conducted between 1600 and 1899 in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Also included is a binary indicator for whether the marriage, birth or death locations were urban or rural between 1600 and 1800, according to the coding system used by Bosker et al. 2013 [Rev. Econ. Stat., 95(4), 1418-1437 doi:10.1162/REST_a_00284]. The data set is derived from a genealogical database, which was constructed from family tree (GEDCOM) files contributed by users of www.genealogieonline.nl. The genealogical data from contributed files was error-checked before being combined into a single database using the TreeChecker application. From the initial pool of >1600 f iles contributed by the users of www.genealogieonline.nl, 924 files were included in the database after an assessment of the percentage of errors in each file, hence the database is known as the GO 924 set.Duplicate marriages were identified by the year of marriage and the first 7 letters of each spouse surname, whereupon a random duplicate was selected for inclusion in the data set. Note that names of individuals and exact dates of marria ges, births and deaths are excluded from this data set to prevent identification of individuals, as the genealogical data was provided to our research group on the basis that it would only be published in an aggregated or anonymised format. Access to the un-anonymised data may be granted subject to confidentiality agreements, please contact the authors for further information. Marriages were only included where the place of marriage had been checked and geocoded with latitude and longitude coordinates, where (as far as we could ascertain) it was the first marriage of the spouse, age at marriage was > 13 for both spouses, all lifespans were < 111 and no estimated dates were used to calculate spouse lifespan.The dataset is in a long format, in which there is a separate record for each spouse. It can be determined whether the spouse is the husba nd or wife (and conversely whether the other is the wife or husband) by the spouse_sex variable. A description of each variable is included in the text file accompanying the csv data file.

Number of divorces and various divorce indicators (crude divorce rate, divorce rate for married persons, age-standardized divorce rate, total divorce rate, mean and median duration of marriage, median duration of divorce proceedings, percentage of joint divorce applications), by place of occurrence, 1970 to most recent year.

A data set based on marriages conducted between 1600 and 1999 in the Netherlands. Includes information on lifespans and marriage ages of spouses (focal spouse and other), also location data for births, marriages and deaths. Includes information on lifespans and death locations of parents of the spouses. Includes information on births, deaths and lifespans of the children of the spouse/couple. Includes information on whether the marriage, birth and death locations were urban or rural between 1600 and 1800, based on whether a place contained 5000 or more inhabitants (using a database developed by Bosker et al. 2013 [Rev. Econ. Stat., 95(4), 1418-1437 doi:10.1162/REST_a_00284]). The data set is derived from a genealogical database, which was constructed from family tree (GEDCOM) files contributed by users of www.genealogieonline.nl, via a program in which genealogists who were registered with the website were invited to contribute their family trees for scientific research purposes. The genealogical data from contributed files was error-checked before being combined into a single database using the TreeChecker application (http://www.treechecker.net). From the initial pool of >1600 contributed files, 924 files were included in the database after an assessment of the percentage of errors in each file, hence the database is known as the GO 924 set. Duplicate marriages were identified by the year of marriage and the first 7 letters of each spouse surname, whereupon a random duplicate was selected for inclusion in the data set. Note that names of individuals and exact dates of marriages, births and deaths are excluded from this data set to prevent identification of individuals, as the genealogical data was provided to our research group on the basis that it would only be published in an aggregated or anonymised format. Access to the un-anonymised data may be granted subject to confidentiality agreements, please contact the authors for further information. Marriages were only included where the place of marriage was in the Netherlands and marriage age of the spouse was > 13. The dataset is in a long format, in which there is a separate record for each spouse. It can be determined whether the spouse is the husband or wife (and conversely whether the other is the wife or husband) by the spouse_sex variable. A description of each variable is included in the accompanying text file: GO924_married_in_NL_inc_children_VARIABLES.txt.

This dataset compares birth, death and marriage registrations completed by the Office of the Registrar General, beginning in 1925, to the most current published annual report (2022). Data released for 2023 and 2024 (January to June) is preliminary and may not match counts from other sources. The data represents counts in the reference calendar quarters, which are collated approximately 90 days after the end of the quarter. Previously released counts for 2023 and 2024 (January to June) are updated to reflect vital event registrations completed after the release of the initial report. Each subsequent quarterly report is the cumulative total of the preceding quarterly reports. ServiceOntario’s ability to provide timely information depends on receiving vital event registration information from a variety of sources. The preliminary data presented may not represent all the events that occurred in the reporting period. This is particularly true for events that occurred near the end of the reporting period as they may not have been received by ServiceOntario by the time the data is collated. Final counts for the reporting year will be released with the publication of the Office of the Registrar General Annual Report. The Vital Statistics Act requires that after the end of each calendar year, the Registrar General publish a report that includes the number of births, marriages, deaths, still-births, adoptions and changes of name registered during the calendar year preceding the one that has ended.

This data set shows the number of labour force by marital status for all states in Malaysia for year 1982 until 2021. The statistics is derived from Labour Force Survey (LFS) which is conducted every month using household approach. Labour force refers to those who during the reference week of LFS, are in the 15-64 years age group and who are either employed or unemployed. Marital status is categorised as follows: a. Never married Refers to those who have never been married at the time of interview. b. Married Refers to persons who are currently married at the time of interview. The term, ‘married’ includes those married by law or by religious rites or are living together by mutual agreement. c. Widowed Refers to those who have not remarried after the death of the spouses at the time of interview. d. Divorced/permanently separated Refers to those whose marriages were annulled through divorce by law or religious arrangement or separated for a long duration without any possibility of reconciliation. W.P. Labuan is gazzeted as a Federal Territory in 1984 while W.P. Putrajaya is gazzeted as a Federal Territory in 2001. The statistics for W.P. Putrajaya for 2001-2010 is treated as part of Selangor. Statistics for W.P. Putrajaya is available separately since 2011 onwards. LFS was not conducted during the years 1991 and 1994. Total includes unknown marital status No. of Views : 762
