What is the difference between “Single” and “Divorced”?

Updated by OURMARRIAGEJOURNEY

For the purpose of submitting a marriage application with the Registry of Marriages (ROM), a 'single' marital status refers to persons who are marrying for the first time or who have had their previous marriage annulled. 

‘Divorced’ status refers to a person whose previous marriage had been legally dissolved by a Court order.
