I believe this subject has been bouncing back and forth between "Unmarried", Not Married" and "Never Married". Putting the philosophical arguments aside, I would like to say that I use the "Never Married" approach simply to keep me from looking for a spouse for that individual at a later date. I need it out in front of me, not buried in the notes somewhere so the Marriage Screen is a good place for me to enter "Never Married". As far as Unmarried and Not Married is concerned, it doesn't take long to see that a person was born out of wedlock when you see his surname the same as the mother's and an Unknown in the Father's position.
