Part D: Identification Details and Demographic Details

2. Instructions for answering questions :

f. Marital status
Data on marital status is needed for completing the information on family structures in the population, and for understanding the changes that occur over time in the composition of families. The data is used for planning education and housing services, which are affected by the changes to families' composition.
Only persons aged 15, or older, are asked about their marital status.
Question 3.180 - What is your marital status?

[] 1 Married
[] 2 Separated
[] 3 Divorced
[] 4 Widow
[] 5 Single
[] 6 Other

- Only read out loud answers 1-5.
- If the answer you receive is not the person's marital status, but a description of another aspect of his life, ask him again about his marital status. For example, if the answer you received is 'single mother', ask again what the marital status is (since her marital status can be any of the suggested answers).
- The answer 'other' is for cases where the respondent is not willing to choose any of the other answers, and has a unique definition for his marital status.
