You are correct Dennis insofar as clicking on the marriage
information and just going to the marriage information screen.
The MRIN creation does occur though if you click on ANY of the
marriage icons such as events, sources, pictures, notes, etc.
These screens create links between the MRIN and the event,
picture etc so when you click on these icons Legacy creates an
MRIN in order to have something to act as the basis of the link.
Because there is no second person the MRIN links the individual
to a blank person. There was a discussion some time ago on
merging files that pointed out that Legacy uses a person with
RIN=0 for this.

Surely we should expect that cancelling out of the marriage

revert to its previous condition, not set up an MRIN with an unseen
ghost partner, and mess up the "never married" data.
If you have an individual with the following conditions...
1> This Individual Never Married is checked
2> This Individual Never Married has a source citation attached
3> ** Never Married ** displayed
... and you accidently bring up the Marriage Information screen and
immediately click Cancel, here is what happens...
A> This Individual Never Married is unchecked
B> This Individual Never Married still has the source citation attached
C> ** Never Married ** disappears, replaced by Marriage Information
Now, if...
4> You recheck This Individual Never Married
... then ...
D> This Individual Never Married still has the source citation attached
E> ** Never Married ** reappears
At no time does an MRIN for a "ghost partner" get created (i.e. row
inserted in tblMR).
So the only problem I see is the This Individual Never Married flag
getting unchecked.
