[] 6. Others (Specify) ____
Relation to head of the household means the relationship or kinship between the person being counted to the head of that household. According to kin, relation of the household, in the structure of the household, there often is husband/wife, son/daughter, daughter in law, father/mother etc. In many families other relations also exist besides the relationships stated in the questionnaire, like brothers, sisters, aunt, father in law, mother in law, grandfather, grandmother, daughter-in law, granddaughter, grandson, nephew, niece etc. Similarly, in many families there are unrelated members. Due to the information of kin and relation among the household members, it would be helpful for the enumeration - and also for the statistical data - if the composition of the household could also be provided.
The relation/kin of the head of the household with the person being counted should be specified. When stating the relationship, code "1" should be marked to specify the head of the household. If a person is the wife or husband of the head of the household, mark "2". Similarly, by speaking with each member, the appropriate relation should be marked as mentioned. In addition to the relation/kin stated in the form of the questionnaire, other kin should be specified by marking code 6 and should be stated with the appropriate relation, like: brother-sister, brother in law, sister in law, grandson/daughter, mother/father in laws, grandfather/mother, daughter in law, uncle, aunt etc. If the person is not related to the head of the household, write "not related". But persons kept as servant, paid on wage, salary and people not related should be written as "house maid" or "domestic worker".

Description
Definition
This variable indicates the person's relationship to the head of the household.
There are some code labels that need explanation. For example, 'jethaju/dewar' is a term used by females for their brother-in-laws (younger brother-in-law = dewar; older brother-in-law = jethaju). Similarly 'nanda/aamaju' is a term used by females for the sister of their husband (younger sister-in-law = nanda; older sister-in-law = aamaju).
Sister-in-law (bhai buhari) can be used by both males and females. Though the Nepali word strictly means wife of younger brother, it is probably used for the wife of older brother as well.
