Description

Definition
CURRMARRMN (MV502) reports the man's marital/union status as "Never married," "Currently married," or "Formerly married."

"Never married" includes men who have never lived with a partner. "Currently married" includes men who are married and those who are not formally married but are living with a partner. "Formerly married" includes men who are widowed, divorced, or separated, or who have formerly lived with a partner. For samples restricted to ever-married men, only men who are formally married (not cohabiting) are included as "married."
