A little while ago we made a slight policy change in the Spouse section of our name pages. Previously we only recorded details of “marriage” in the commonly understood, old fashioned sense, but we are now accepting all legally recognized partnerships (marriages, civil partnerships, domestic unions, etc – the exact terms vary by jurisdiction). The submission guide has been updated to reflect this change but the gist is: if it’s legal, we’ll record it; if it’s not formally recognized by the local authorities, we’ll take it as a biographical trivia item.
Marriages, Civil Unions, etc
