Notes

NOTE: In the 1990 Dutch survey, V 182 was worded as: "How often have you been married?" 1= once, 2=more than once, 3=more than twice. This question gave rise to confusion in many countries; it was not clear whether being married before meant "have you ever been married?" or "have you ever been married before your present marriage?"
