I just wanted to know if “unmarried” in English carries different connotations than it does in my native language. )
Apparently yes, it does.
People saying this obviously aren’t satisfied with a simple married/unmarried dichotomy.
On the contrary, people referred to in that article aren’t satisfied with a married/single dichotomy.
Indeed. Though different dictionaries give both meanings, the Dutch bureau for statistics uses exclusively the “ongehuwd (literally: unmarried) = has never been married” meaning.
