Single, married, divorced, and widowed are legal concepts that cover everything that can without being overcomplicated with a million personal preferences and 'complicated' is meaningless without every single unique person's context.
Or add a separate question about whether they feel their situation is more complicated than that without muddling clear answers on legal status.
I guess this must apply to the society you and @Peacemeal12 live in, for sure. But I was actually talking about legal terms.
Where I live, civil unions and common law (de facto) relationships of more than 2 years have the exact same legal standing as marriage.
So the question usually includes De Facto, and Married or in a Civil Union.
If they are the same as marriage then that is a distinction without a difference.
Depends on the purpose of the demographics.
I think collecting the stats on it first is probably a big part of why we slowly changed our laws to give them all the same rights - when we saw how many people were being affected.
