Interviewer instructions

13. Marital Status --- Those aged 15 and above. At the time of Census, for those never-married people, circle "1" (Never-Married). At the time of Census, for those who have spouses (including those who are re-married after being widowed or divorced), circle "2" (Married). For those whose spouse is deceased but who are not married at the time of Census, circle "3" (Widowed). For those who is divorced but are not married at the time of Census, circle "4" (Divorced).

The answer to the marital status should reflect the actual situation, rather than only the legal marriages.
