Description

Definition
Like MAR1STCMC (V509), MAR1STCMC_NP reports the century month code (CMC) for the date of the woman's first marriage or cohabitation. However, MAR1STCMC_NP is country-specific to Nepal, as the data are recorded using Vikram Samvat, the official calendar in Nepal. For most countries, the CMC data for the date of the woman's first marriage/cohabitation are recorded using the Gregorian calendar. The Nepali calendar is roughly 57 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar.

For detailed information on the calculation and interpretation of CMC data on the date of the woman's first marriage or cohabitation, see MAR1STCMC (V509).
