How many married couples are in the U.S.? In 2023, there were 62.18 million married couples in the United States. This is an increase from 40.2 million married couples in 1960. Marriage in the U.S. While the number of married couples in the U.S. has increased in the past few decades, this could very well just be due to population change, since while the U.S. population has been increasing, the marriage rate has decreased significantly since 1990. In addition, the divorce rate has almost halved since 1990 despite concerns that more people are getting divorced than in years past. Same-sex marriage in the U.S. After years of advocacy, same-sex marriage became legal in the United States in June 2015. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was legal in a landmark ruling in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. In 2015, a clear majority of Americans were in favor of the legalization of same-sex marriage, and approval has only been increasing in the years since.

The number of marriages in Peru had been quite stable in the pre-pandemic years, reaching a high of around 93,600 marriages in 2016. With the hit of the COVID-19 pandemic, this number fell to 44,450 in 2020. Since then, it has been on a path to recovery, reaching pre-pandemic levels already in 2022, with 85,300 new married couples.

Abstract

Marriage data: In South Africa Civil Marriages are administered through the Marriage Act, 1961 (Act No. 25 of 1961) as amended, and its associated regulations. Customary marriages are governed by the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, 1998 (Act No. 120 of 1998) which came into effect on 15 November 2000. Civil unions (relationships between same-sex couples that are legally recognized by a state authority) are covered by the Civil Union Act, 2006 (Act No. 17 of 2006) which came into operation on 30 November 2006.

The South African Department of Home Affairs is responsible for the administration of marriages in South Africa, under these laws. After the ceremony of a marriage or a civil union, the marriage officer submits the data to the nearest office of the Department of Home Affairs (DHS), where the marriage / civil union details for citizens and permanent residents are recorded in the National Population Register (NPR). Statistics South Africa obtains data on marriages and civil unions from DHA through the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) for this dataset.

NOTE: In customary marriages, the two spouses and their witnesses present themselves at a DHA office in order to register a customary marriage. Therefore the province of registration is not necessarily the province of the place of usual residence of the couple since the registration of the marriage can take place in any DHA office.

Divorce data: The dissolution of registered marriages and civil unions is governed by the Divorce Act, 1979 as amended, and its associated regulations (Act No.70 of 1979) and the Jurisdiction of Regional Courts Amendment Act, 2008 (Act No. 32 of 2008) as amended which came into effect on 9 August 2010. The South African Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DJCD) is responsible for managing divorces under these Acts. Statistics South Africa obtains the divorce data from the DJCD for this dataset.

NOTE: The data includes divorce applications that were concluded in 2015, that is, that were finalised and issued with decrees of divorce in 2015 by DJCD.

Data appraisal

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.

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

The North Carolina State Center for Health Services (SCHS) collects yearly vital statistics. The Odum Institute holds vital statistics beginning in 1968 for deaths, marriages and divorce. Public marriage and divorce data are available through 1999 only. Vital statistics for births, fetal deaths, and birth/infant deaths may be obtained directly from SCHS by submitting a request to SCHS.Info@dhhs.nc.gov This study focuses on deaths in North Carolina in 2015. Death is defined as the permanent disappearance of any evidence of life at any time after live birth. This definition excludes fetal deaths. The data kept for deaths includes the age, race, marital status, and sex of the individual; date, time, cause and location of death; and mode of burial. Minor changes to the files beginning in 2014 reflect the release of an updated NC Death Certificate form in that year. The data are strictly numerical; there is no identifying information given about the individuals.

This project contains the raw data for the PSID 1968 - 2015 Individual sample, which has since been edited and updated on the PSID website to the IND 2019ER file, covering 1968 - 2019. PSID Family datasets from 1968-1993 are also included which can be obtains from the PSID website. These are the data required for replicating the results in "Collateralized Marriage," and can be used to replicate any paper making use of the now out-of-date 2015 individual file.

The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) is designed and administered by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), an agency with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (DHHS/CDC). Since the NSFG began in 1973, there have been nine data release files. The purpose of the survey is to produce reliable national estimates of: - Factors affecting pregnancy, including sexual activity, contraceptive use, and infertility; - The medical care associated with contraception, infertility, and childbirth; - Factors affecting marriage, divorce, cohabitation, and adoption; - Adoption and caring for nonbiological children - Father involvement behaviors, and - Men's and women's attitudes about sex, childbearing, and marriage. The survey contains key religion variables that may relate to these topics. The survey results are used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other research and policy organizations to plan health services and health education programs, and to do statistical studies on the topics listed above. ("https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nsfg/nsfg_2013_2015_userguide_maintext.pdf#page=6" Target="_blank">NSFG 2013-2015 User's Guide: Main Text) Each wave of the NSFG survey contains a Female Respondent Survey, Male Respondent Survey, and a Pregnancy Survey. This is the Pregnancy Survey.
