The marriage rings drawn apart, meaning the marriage ended.
Also known as: Separated rings, Two circles pulled apart
The same two rings, separated and turned so they no longer interlock. One of the clearest pieces of pictorial logic in any notation: the symbol for the union, undone.
Two rings drawn side by side but not interlocked, placed before a date to state that a marriage was dissolved on it.
Contexts: History
A direct visual negation of the marriage symbol, which makes the pair readable without a key even by someone who has never seen either.
In charts the same fact is often shown structurally instead, by striking through the horizontal line joining the couple, so a tree may use one convention or the other.
Two circles of equal size placed side by side with a clear gap between them, not touching or overlapping.
One marks a marriage and the other its dissolution, and the divorce mark is the marriage mark broken.
