The information requested by the deputy is not available. However information from the Census of Population 2002 does provide some details in relation to the numbers of people in their first marriage, and numbers of people who have remarried. The relevant information is outlined in the following table:

Total Male Female
First Marriage 1,423,884 711,302 712,582
Remarried 30,529 17,042 13,487
