Interviewer instructions
Question No. 5--Current Marital Status

Only for those 12 and older

When asking this question, you should mention one marital status at a time and await a response before mentioning the next one. Be careful not to alter the order of the alternatives.

There are five marital statuses that we are interested in knowing about, and they are defined as follows:

1) Married: A person who has entered into matrimony before an appropriate authority and who lives in this state with their legal spouse.

2) Consensual Union: A person who lives maritally with another in a stable situation, without having legalized the union and who can have any of the other legal marital statuses.

3) Widowed: A person who, after the death of their spouse, has not remarried nor lives in a de facto union.

4) Separated or annulled: A person who, having been married or in a stable de facto union, doesn't live with their spouse or partner.

5) Single: A person who has never married and doesn't live maritally with another person.
