Bachelor Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
A bachelor is a man above the age of majority who has never been married (see single). A man who was formerly married is not a bachelor but rather is a divorcé or a widower (except in cases where the marriage was legally annulled, in which case there was legally no marriage—especially if it was never consummated).
