Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Question 7</span><div class="i1">Are you married now?</div><p>To complete this question you ask the person whether he is married now. If he says YES write M (for married). If he has never married write NM (never married).
<br />If a person is divorced, separated or the wife or husband is dead, you write 0 (for others.).
<br />We do not want to embarrass people with this question. You can often complete it from Question 2, the relationship question. For example a man, wife and their small children. In this case simply put M for the man and his wife and NM for the children.
<br />You should ask the question when in doubt for example, older children, brothers, sisters who don't have a husband or wife on the form.
<br />However, always be careful. We don't want to offend people.
