결혼 생활¹ 혹은 부부 생활¹의 끝에서, 관계의 종료²는 혼인의 해소(파경)³과 함께 발생한다.(예, the breaking of all legal obligations resulting from the status of spouse, including the removal of legal obstacles to a new marriage. If a marriage is dissolved by death the surviving spouse is called a widower⁴ if male and a widow⁵ if female. Widowed persons⁶ live in a state of widowhood⁷.

511

Where divorce¹ as an institution is recognized, the dissolution of marriage (510-2) may take place through the granting of a decree of divorce² to one of the spouses. In some countries a spouse may be repudiated³ by the other. Persons whose marriages have been dissolved by divorce are called divorced persons⁴. The French words divorcée⁶ (woman) or divorce⁵ (man) are sometimes used in English, though the masculine form is rare.

• 1. Divorce, n. and v.

512

In some countries the principle of the indissolubility of marriage¹ is upheld by law or custom and divorce (511-1) is not allowed; only the death of one of the spouses (501-5) may bring about dissolution of the marriage (510-3). Under any legal system, however, lack of harmony may lead to separation² of the spouses. This may take the form of a de facto separation³, either through common consent or as the result of the desertion⁴ of one of the spouses by the other. Or it may take the form of a legal separation⁵ or judicial separation⁵. A judicial separation absolves the parties from certain obligations, including the duty of living together, or cohabitation, but does not enable either of them to contract a new marriage. Persons whose marriages have been broken by separation are called separated persons⁶. Marriages in which the spouses no longer cohabit but which have not been legally dissolved may be called broken marriages⁷.

513

A decree of nullity¹ or an annulment of marriage¹ is a declaration by a court of law that, although a marriage ceremony has taken place, there has been no valid marriage². The expression dissolved marriage³ is frequently understood to include cases of annulments and of legal separation, although legally the marriage is not dissolved. The term end of union (510-2) is more appropriate than dissolution in such cases and may also refer to unions other than marriage.

514

From a legal point of view, any person who meets the conditions set by law or custom to contract a marriage is marriageable¹, and the marriageable population² is made up of such persons; the non-marriageable population³ consists of those who are not free to do so by law or custom. The marriage market⁴, the 틀:NewTextTerm or 틀:NewTextTerm among whom mate selection⁶ takes place however, does not include all marriageable persons; candidates to marriage⁷ include only those who are not excluded, at least temporarily, by reasons of health or other circumstances from the marriage market. Widowed or divorced persons may contract a new marriage; there is thus a distinction between a first marriage⁸ and a marriage of higher order, or remarriage⁹. Because the order of marriage¹⁰ may differ for the two spouses, the term "first marriage" is ambiguous unless specified as referring to groom (501-6*) or to bride (501-7*) or to both parties; unless otherwise specified, it refers to a marriage between a bachelor (515-3) and a spinster (515-4).

• 9. Remarriage, n. - remarry, v. - remarried, adj.

515

The population may be divided into different groups by conjugal status¹, marital status¹ or marital condition¹. Single² persons, bachelors³ (men) and spinsters⁴ (women), are those who have never been married; they are also sometimes called the never-married² class. The class of married persons⁵, married men⁶ and married women⁷, consists of those who have been married and whose marriages have not been dissolved (513-3). All persons except single persons are ever-married persons⁸.

• 2. A synonym is celibate, adj. - celibacy, n.: the state of being single.
