Use this measure when marital states, marriage order, ages, and observation periods follow one consistent legal or survey definition.

Total marriages

All marriages registered in the year.

Remarriages

Marriages where at least one spouse had been married before.

Remarriage %

Remarriages as a percentage of all marriages.

First marriage %

First marriages as a percentage of all marriages.

Marriage, union, separation, divorce, and remarriage definitions vary across jurisdictions and surveys. Cross-population comparisons require compatible age ranges and treatment of consensual unions.

Complement the period indicator with cohort histories, union duration, or age-specific proportions. Legal marriage records and survey-based union measures may answer different questions and should remain separate.
