Supplementary notes

In some of the marriages the sex and age of one of the involved persons is not stated because the person was not in the Danish population register. In these cases the marriages will be defined as marriages of different sex couples. This means that marriages of same sex couples could be underestimated and marriages of different sex couples could be overestimated.
