Hah, that marriage certificate. the condition column.

bachelor is fair enough(man who never married)

but spinster(woman who never married?)

nowadays the terms, especially spinster, have a sort of connotation with age. 24 is not that old but would younger people(18-20) have a different condition.

and now I am curious what other "conditions" there are. my guess.

  widow/er
  divorced(are there archaic gender specific terms for this?)
