@Rasp or even assumes, that "married" implies "living together in one household and the significant other is in a depending role". "family values" framing 101.

@Rasp And while we are at it... Why is there a need to make a difference between single, divorced and widowed? I am a single with a child. It should not matter at all, if I was married before or not.

@Rasp I wonder if it has to do with that whole 'consummate marriage' bullshit.

@Rasp If you're married, your spouse is a dependent (apparently).

@wolkenblume Divorced means you have alimony and maybe child support.I think widowed means you might get life insurance.

@wolkenblume I mean if you want the money, you tell them that.I have no idea if you can just say you're single and leave it at that, but also most people probably won't turn down extra money.I hear what you're saying, but some stats they collect because they do useful stuff with it and not just cuz they're curious.

@Rasp taxes are weird. If you’re married, one has to be “head of household” and the other has to be dependent. It feels very much like a relic of systemic sexism lol

@Paradox I don't know what this particular form belongs to. My comments are therefore generic. In a couple of contexts it might be legit. But too many institutions and companies put their noses in stuff that should be none of their business.Not every woman gets alimony and not every man has to pay alimony after a divorce. And child support depends on having a child not on having been married. Here at least. If they have a legit interest in my income components, I share those anyway.

@Rasp@raru.re That's how the system is designed to work. You get married and have children so that the system can exploit them when they become adults :akko_shrug:
