Codes and Frequencies
Description
This variable indicates the person's relationship to the head of the household.
There are some code labels that need explanation. For example, 'jethaju/dewar' is a term used by females for their brother-in-laws (younger brother-in-law = dewar; older brother-in-law = jethaju). Similarly 'nanda/aamaju' is a term used by females for the sister of their husband (younger sister-in-law = nanda; older sister-in-law = aamaju).
Sister-in-law (bhai buhari) can be used by both males and females. Though the Nepali word strictly means wife of younger brother, it is probably used for the wife of older brother as well.
