Spouse/Marriage Data - If both spouses are listed on IMDb, any marriage data updates should be automatically applied to both spouses
When both spouses are listed on IMDb, updating the marriage data for one of the spouses should automatically update the data for other other spouse as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is not currently happening.
Is there any reason why the system is not set up this way?
These automatic, reciprocal updates should include a few things:
- The existence of a marriage
- The dates of a marriage
- Divorce data
- Any children from the marriage
Currently, none of those things are being updated for both spouses reciprocally. But all of them should be.
Here are some examples, where the marriage (or a divorce) is listed for one spouse but not the other:

Klaudia Matuscinová - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5132736/bio

@keyword_expert I agree that the system should be designed to do this.
It sounds like most family relations can be added to one person and it automatically updates the other, but deleting a family relationship from one person does not automatically delete it from the other person:
https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/biographical-data-guidelines/GMT9T242VQADZUQM#familydetails
As discussed at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/false-child-link-on-ivana-trump/63a7c7209bb80c1cea251fce I found that Jared Kushner had incorrect family relationships listed with four different people (thanks to some contributor who did not understand the concept of "in-law"), so I had to not only delete the four relationships from his page, I had to delete each of them from the four other people involved, too.

I haven’t added that many spouse/marriage details in the past, but I recently added one and it seems that the details were not updated to the name page of the ”other” person.

Hi.
This is a spin off thread from the earlier one ( https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/spousemarriage-data-if-both-spouses-are-listed-on-imdb-any-marriage-data-updates-should-be-automatically-applied-to-both-spouses/639f70bd48a801744864d859 ). I feel that the thread is a bit ignored now, so no new replies.
In short: When adding a spouse to page A, the page B (meaning the "other" spouse) doesn't "automatically" get updated. Is this a bug or am I missing something? I have now added a few and this seems to be the case.
Thanks.

Hi @keyword_expert & All -
I'm following up here to confirm that we currently don't have a mechanism in place for replicating spouse relationship data onto both name pages, so this is a purely manual process and the data will need to be submitted separately to each name page.
I have now modified this post to an "Idea" thread so we can track interest on improving this process, I encourage you to vote on this Idea and IMDb staff will monitor and highlight to the appropriate team.
