[Marriages in the Netherlands, 1950-1986].
"This article gives an overview of the trends of marrying people living in the Netherlands, by sex, age and previous marital status for the period 1950-1986 as well as for the birth cohorts 1930-1965."  A general decline in the prevalence of marriage is noted, with marriage less inevitable for adolescents and more likely to end in divorce than previously.  A trend toward later age at marriage is also observed. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
