This error typically arises in the context of Human Capital Management (HCM) when processing employee data, particularly in relation to personal information and family-related data.
  Cause:
  The inconsistency can occur due to several reasons:

  Missing Partner Data: If the employee's marital status is set to "married," but there is no corresponding entry for the marriage partner in the system, this will trigger the error.
  Data Updates: Changes in marital status or partner information that have not been properly updated in the system can lead to inconsistencies.
