Sure, that's a concise answer to what I actually wrote, but it wasn't 
exactly what I intended :)

Basically, what I've got is the first person and the tag_type. I can do 
it with a function from PHP:

function get_spouses($p) {
    $handle = pg_query("select person from principals
                       where event in (select event from principals
                       where person = $p and tag_type = " .MARR. ")
                       order by sort_date");
    $i=0;
    $spouses = array();
    while ($row = pg_fetch_row($handle) {
        if $row[0] != $p
             $spouses[$i++] = $row[0];
    }
    return $spouses;
}

But this is *ugly* ...
