Looks like the questions is to cover the right to use your partner's NI contributions towards your state pension. If your pension is less than £113.10 a week and your partner (even if you're divorced) has enough NI contributions, you may be able to increase your pension up to the £113.10. You lose this option if you remarry or live with someone as if you are married.
