Marital status in the Netherlands



In Indonesia we have only 2 states of marital status: married, unmarried. When working on the human-resource software integration project (the software registers personal data of employees including their marital status), I found out that in the Netherlands it appears that we have more marital status due to different kinds of  living together/half-marriage (samenwonen, partnerschap) and divorce (gescheiden) contracts:

  • Samenwonen (notariele acte)
  • Samenwonend(relatieverklaring)
  • Gescheiden
  • Gescheiden van tafel en bed
  • Kostwinner
  • Gehuwd
  • Geregistreerd partnerschap
  • Ongehuwd
  • Onbekend
  • Weduwe/weduwnaar
