Married- Someone legally married and lives with the respective spouse.
Separated, but still legally married- All people who, after getting married have separated but still have not recognized the separation legally or divorce in court or by the Civil Registry.
Divorced- Someone who after being married opted to dissolve the marriage in court or by the Civil Registry (divorce).

Examples:
If a person is still legally married but is separated from his/her partner without a legal divorce, you should choose "Separated, but still legally married";
If a person lives in a consensual union and their marital status is single, you should choose the option "Single".
