Hi ljmp thnx for a quick reply. So I put 2 times since my mom got married twice. Both husband died.

You are filling out the form for your MOM? If yes, then you should write 2 if she has been married for two times. This will reflect on her CEMAR (list of all previous and current marriages).

I thought you are asking for yourself. :bonk: LOL
