Marital status (including common-law status)
Release no. 3: September 12, 2007
- For the first time in 2006, there were more unmarried people aged 15 and
over in Canada than married people. Just over one-half of Canada's population
in this age group was unmarried, that is, they had never been legally married,
or they were divorced, widowed or separated.
