Interviewer instructions
For men who are not currently married or living with a woman, ask whether they have ever been married or lived with a woman. Remember that 'married' refers to both formal and informal unions.

Circle the code corresponding to the response given. Notice that there are two different response categories for a 'Yes' response: 'Yes, formerly married' and 'Yes, formerly lived with a woman'. Be sure to make the distinction between the two categories. If the respondent just answers 'Yes', probe by asking, "Were you formerly married or did you live with a woman?" If he was formerly married and also reports living with a woman, circle the code for 'Yes, formerly married'.

If he was never married and never lived with a woman circle '3' for 'No' and go to the next module. Otherwise, continue on to MU6.
