Sie sind auf unzähligen Formularen zu finden: die Kästchen für den Familienstand. Zur Auswahl stehen: "einzel," "verheiratet," "geschieden." Vor allem der letzte Kasten sorgt für Diskussionen. FDP-Nationalrätin Nadine Gobet ist fordert seine Abschaffung. Sie hält es für überholt, denn rund 40 Prozent der Ehen werden geschieden.
People who are divorced often have to declare this on forms. A proposal aims to abolish this requirement.

Maybe they could rename it to „Respawned“
Depends, are there any legal differences if someone is divorced compared to single?
Ledig means ~~celibate~~ **never married**, not single.
Edit: correction
My opinion: once you’re divorced, you’re “Single” again.
There is no „single“ on forms only „ledig“.
I also find this quite funny, since I don’t plan to marry someone.
According to civil status law (Zivielstandsrecht), somebody that was married can never be considered „ledig“ again. So the law would have to be changed.
I would just propose to drop „ledig“ and „geschieden“ and just give the options „Nicht-verheiratet“ und „verheiratet“, or even better the Question Married? Yes or No.
I’ve never seen on a form a flag for people who are divorced often
Yeah cause we definitely don’t have better things to do than waste tax dollars on changing hundreds of forms.
This is very contemporary….
„The status follows you through your life forever“
Yes, no shit… the whole premise of „feeling“ and personal belief infiltrating our government and administration is a nuisance. Not to mention that this is absolutely unnecessary snd costs money that is better spent on literally everything else.
