Marital Status refers to the condition of being married, single, divorced, separated, or widowed. It is a legal and social status that is used to describe an individual’s relationship status with respect to marriage. Marital status plays a crucial role in many aspects of an individual’s life, including inheritance, tax benefits, and the distribution of property upon divorce or death. It also affects the eligibility for certain government benefits and privileges. Marital status is typically determined by the laws of the individual’s country of residence and can change throughout a person’s life, as they enter into or dissolve a marriage.
