Marrying; marriages and marriages according to various characteristics

The table contains data on marriages (excluding partnership registrations) and married persons (excluding persons who have entered into a registered partnership) among the population of the Netherlands by gender relationship, age (on 31 December), marital status, marriage grade number and country of birth. In the table, the data can be divided into the following characteristics: — Marriages by sex and age difference; — Marriages by sex and mutual marital status; — Marriages by sex relationship and mutual number of marriages; — Marriages by sex and country of birth; — Marrying persons by sex and age; — Married persons by sex and marital status; — Married persons by gender and rank number of the marriage. Data available from: 1996 Status of the figures All figures in the table are final. Amendments as of 28 June 2022: — Final figures for 2021 have been added. — CBS is moving to a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, more decisive is where a person was born, and less determining where one’s parents were born. The word migration background is no longer used. The main classification of Western/Non-Westerns is replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin. It can be decided that the origin classification will expire for a StatLine table. The new classification may also affect tables with characteristics such as country of birth, nationality and country of destination. To connect to this new classification, this table removes all subjects relating to marriages to mutual country of birth that refer to the groups of “Western” and “non-Western” from the table. The deleted information is permanently available in table 'Huwen; marriages and marriages according to various characteristics, 1996-2020' (see link under 3. LINKS TO RELEVANT TABLES AND ARTICLES). When are new figures coming? In the fourth quarter of 2023, the final figures for 2022 will be included in this publication.
