Interviewer instructions

Question 30 is only to be asked about persons age 12 or older

Question 30. What is your marital status?

An "X" is to be placed into the box corresponding to the person's marital status. In specifying the marital status, the basis is to be the de facto situation rather than the legally formalized one. For example, if those living as husband and wife based only on common-law, or married through a religious wedding (wedding ceremony conducted by an imam) declare themselves to be married, they are to be accepted as being "Married".
