7.8 Block VII. Ever-married women age 10 or older
The questions in this block are asked only to women who have ever been married (Q 405, codes 2, 3, or 4) and are age 10 or older (Q 404 ? 10).


Question 703: Age at first marriage
Ask the respondent her age at the time of her first marriage. If the month and year of her first marriage are known, estimate the age at first marriage by relating the month and year for first marriage to the month and year of her birth. As in the case of estimating age, age at first marriage is rounded down. Write the age in the space provided. Minimum age at first marriage is 10 years.

[p. 126]

Example:
Mrs. Mirna was born in January 1939. She married for the first time in May 1964. Then her age at first marriage was 25 (although in fact it was 25 years and 4 months).

Note:
Women who are pregnant outside of marriage are considered divorced (Q405 = 3); then Q703 should be filled in with the age at the time of enumeration minus the number of months of the pregnancy. If she has given birth, Q703 is filled in by calculating her age at the birth of her first child minus 9 months.
