I got married a few years ago, but it was just a registered marriage. We never lived together. She later married someone else. Now I’m getting a government job and I’m unsure what to put for my relationship status: married or single? I’m single now, but technically still married on paper. What should I do?

You should disclose your marital status truthfully, which is married. Since you never lived together and your wife has married another person, you can initiate divorce proceedings. You should consult a lawyer to understand the legal process and potential implications of your situation.
