Interviewer instructions
25. Marital status, Column 28
Fill this column out for everyone who is age 10 and older in the household (those born before October 1996) and leave it blank for other members. Identify their marital status and write the corresponding code in the designated box.
[] 1 Married: for those who are married at the time of enumeration, assign code 1. Consider those who have a marriage contract as married, even if they do not live together yet, but do not consider those who are engaged as married.
[] 2 Widowed: assign code 2 for those whose spouse has passed away and they have not yet married again.
[] 3 Divorced: assign code 3 for those who are divorced and have not yet married again. Do not consider those who are separated but not divorced yet as divorced -- assign code 1 to them.
[] 4 Never married: for those who have never been married yet, assign code 4.

- Define the marital status for those who have been married more than once based on their current marital status. For instance, if they are divorced from their first spouse, married again, their second spouse has passed away and they are not yet married again, assign code 2 to them.
- If a man has more than one wife, he and all of his wives are considered as married and should be assigned to code 1.
