Column 25: Marital status
Mark:
-M for a married woman
-M1 for a man married with 1 wife
-M2 for a man married with 2 wives, and so on
-V for a widow (person whose partner is deceased and who isn't remarried)
-D for a divorced person (person divorced from his/her partner and who isn't remarried) or separated from his/her spouse
In all cases you should consider statements from the concerned party: a married person is someone who declares himself/herself as such
The number of wives to mark for each married man is the number of current wives.

The fourth page of the questionnaire: to be filled out for each household.
N.B. These questions should be asked once per household. In cases where several sheets are used for the same household, only fill out the back of the first sheet and mark a line on the back of the extra sheets that are already filed on the inside of the first sheet once the household has been surveyed.
Events occurring in the household over the last 12 months.
These questions are meant to create an inventory of the births and deaths that occurred in the household over the course of the 12 months that came before the first day of surveying, meaning from April 9 1975 to April 8 1976.
Mark this period once in its reserved space, under the following form: "period from 4/9/75 to 4/8/76".
