Question about previous partner on Naturalization form AN

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

The naturalization form AN has questions about previous husband/wife/civil partner.

1.43 Date(s) and place(s) of your husband's/wife's/civil partner’s previous marriage/civil partnership (if applicable)
1.44 Date(s), place(s) and reason(s) for ending of your husband’s/wife’s/civil partner’s marriage or civil partnership (if applicable)
1.45 Dates of any marriage(s) over the last 5 years (continue on page 14 if needed)

What are these questions asking? Who are they asking it about? Are 1.43 and 1.45 different? Is it correct that none of these questions are about the applicant for Naturalization?

They're about your partner...not you as the applicant...although I'll agree it's confusing.

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

I do not understand the difference between:

1.43 Date(s) and place(s) of your husband's/wife's/civil partner’s previous marriage/civil partnership (if applicable)

1.45 Dates of any marriage(s) over the last 5 years (continue on page 14 if needed)

Any idea?

Has your spouse been married before? If so...dates + reason...divorce?

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

Has your spouse been married before? If so...dates + reason...divorce?

True. But remember these questions are about your FORMER spouse.

What is the difference between 1.43 and 1.45? They seem to be a rewording of the same question.
