At random levels, a person’s marital status can be determined. As soon as a person’s marital status changes, an end date is added to the record of the previous marital status. A new record will also be added with the date of commencement of the new marital status (PIVAAANVANGBURLESTATE). The variables PIVAAAN VANGBURGER LISTAT and PIVAIN BURGER LISTAT are the key to marital status. Use of the file: The file cannot be used to make counts. The file is used to add the marital status attribute to individuals within populations originating from other files. Because the identification of persons in the file takes place on the basis of RINPERSOON and RINPERSOONS, this file can only be used in combination with other files in which persons have been identified in the same way, seven civil states are available in the file (unwrought, married, partnership, divorced after partnership, widowed after marriage and widowed after partnership). In statistical publications, only figures for the four main categories of unmarried, married, widowed and divorced will normally be presented. ### Population Persons registered in the Dutch Antilles and Aruba Personal Information Service (PIVA) from 1 January 2010.
