Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="UY06A417"><span class="em">37. What is your marital status? </span><br /><br />This question is asked <br /><ul class="b1">
<li>Of the people who declare not having a spouse in the household in question 34</li>

<li>Of the people who declare being in a "Consensual union" in question 36</li>
</ul><br /><br />Ask the question and read all the codes that appear in the list.<br /><br />While in the previous questions (34 and 36) the conjugal situation of the people (living or not with a partner) is investigated, this question seeks to capture marital status.<br /><br />For example<br />- A person who is in a consensual union can have any of the following marital statuses:<br /><div class="i1">a) Divorced<br />b) Married (separated from a previous partner with whom he was married and still hasn't divorced)<br />c) Widow<br />d) Single</div><br />- A person who does not have a spouse currently in the household can be in any of the categories making up this question.<br /><br />In contrast to the couples who declared having been in a civil matrimony, the members of a relationship who are in a "Consensual union" can each have a different marital status. One member of the couple can declare [to be] "Divorced" while the other can be "Married (separated and still not divorced)".<br /></svar>
