My sister agrees with this. She doesn't want her first marriage even mentioned. However, if you (or someone in the future) was doing research they would/could find records showing both of them. Not mentioning the first marriage in the database at all would mean that that someone may be looking for her in the wrong place.
The ability not to print it on current printouts is a great idea.

Previous marriages without children do not affect any other relationships, thus may not be wanted in every descendant/ancestor chart or report.
