Friend, it is mandatory requirement for CDS Examination that candidate must be unmarried. As married are not considered eligible for joining defence forces. If a candidate is married, then will forfeited the right to join the defence forces. But any women candidate who is widow or divorcee without any issue is considered eligible for joining defence forces. But this condition is not applicable in case of male candidate.
Friend it is need less to say CDS(combined defence service)eligibility clear's NDA candidates'must not be married.It is mandatory CDs candidates' marital status must be single, without this they will not get eligibility for UPSC CDS entrance exam.CDS entrance examination is conducted by UPSC twice within the year.
