The spouse is a separate person, and as such, has his/her own screen with events, notes, sources, etc. If you only know a spouse by a daughters married name - for instance a citation in a will - and have nothing other to record, you can list the surname in the Married Name event - which sort of implies 'details forthcoming'. The Family View will show the spouses in a marriage that is the active one; and a button for Other Marriages.
