Translation of "lediger" into English

Dagegen ist die Altersrente eines verheirateten Mannes höher als die eines Ledigen.

However, a married man is entitled to a higher pension than a single person.

Folglich kam ihnen nicht die Steuervergünstigung des Splitting zugute; verheiratete Steuerpflichtige wurden wie Ledige behandelt.

Consequently, they did not qualify for the tax benefit of "splitting" and married employed persons were treated in the same way as unmarried persons.
