Are all cases unique by respid and partnr?
It appears to be telling you that there are 10 cases where someone married for a second time (apparently the same partner!) before being divorced for the first time?!
I can see how this could be interpretted as a "probable error".
Of course, I could be reading it wrong...

No, but there are 4 cases where J_Heirat==JScheidung, in all other cases
J_Heirat < JScheidung
