GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
There is no polygamous status for females. Generally the information about polygamous status is available only for the male head. For the other individuals we consider those having the status married as monogamous.
This variable distinguishes also between legal marriage and marriage, and between separation and divorce.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The "married polygamous" category was generated for the head of the household only if the number of spouses exceeds "1".
