Whether Debtor could claim additional personal property exemption as either a head of a family or a single person under S.D.C.L. § 43-45-4?

Debtor was not a single person because she was married on the petition date. Further, Debtor was not a head of a family because she did not have any dependents. Accordingly, Debtor could not declare any additional personal property exempt under S.D.C.L. § 43-45-4.
