Interviewer instructions

Write down the present MARITAL STATUS of each person. Make sure that only those people who have never been married are classified as such, not those who are presently not married, but have been married in the past. For instance, individuals whose spouse has died, or who are divorced or separated should be listed explicitly as such using code 3 or 4 respectively.

Question post text

If code 2 to 4, go to Q8.
