Interviewer instructions
The Present Martial Status refers to the person's marital status as on the date of the interview. This information will be collected for only household members who are 10 years and above. "Married" includes all types of marriages - e.g., civil, traditional and common law - with legal, religious and cultural obligations. For the purpose of this survey, persons who are currently cohabiting are classified as "married" if they consider themselves as such. Note that polygamy refers to males having more than one wife even if they are not staying in the same household. Make sure that only those people who have never been married are classified as "never married" not those who are presently not married, but have been married in the past. That is individuals who are divorced or separated should be listed explicitly as such using code '3'. Similarly, those who were married but lost their partners should be recorded using code '4'.
