So coworker Chiku had a copy of his official, government marriage certificate on his desk (he got married last May). Lists names, witnesses, and status of individuals prior to marriage:
"Chikusela Sikazwe - Bachelor
Theresa Chikopela - Spinster"
Me: Wait, really? So... is 'spinster' an official term for single women - like, official in government??
Chiku: Yes, of course. What else would you call her?
