Widow Remarry Odds Vary With Age and Postwar Factors
Washington reports a study showing remarriage probabilities after widowhood vary by age. Among ages 16 to 20 about 12 in 100 remarry within six years, rising to 8 in 100 for ages 21 to 25 and increasing with younger ages remaining higher than older ones. Odds decline as age advances, with 31 to 35 about 4 in 100, 36 to 40 around 2 in 100, and near 3 in 100 for 50 plus, noting postwar shifts could alter these patterns. The McCoy 1 court decision lent credibility to using such tables for tax deductions on widow remarriage contingencies.
