very "tense" constructions

[poorboy_9]

While progressing through a grammer module for TOEFL certification, I came across an example that "puzzles" me.

SHE HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR ONE YEAR.

Since it uses have/has -perfect tense; since it uses "-ed" -past tense; therefore, Past Perfect tense. However, would this be Past Perfect Continuous, since SHE is still in a state of wedded bliss? (One can only hope!)
I realize that Continuous uses the "-ing" form, but the act of Matrimony isn't a continual, on going event.

This is the 'present perfect' tense, the act of matrimony is not an ongoing event but the state of matimony is, hopefully.

For a description of the present perfect try google with, "present perfect" in english, using the quotation marks.
