The data on marriage will provide information on the marriage customs in different groups of the population. For example, at what age do men get married, in comparison with women, and what are the age gaps between spouses.
Only people who said their marital status is different than 'single' are asked about marriage.
If a person was married once, he is asked for the year in which he got married.
Question 3.200 - In what year did you get married?
- In the Arab population, if you are asked whether the question refers to the engagement (which is registered with the Moslem Religious Judge and the Ministry of Interior) or the actual marriage, ask the respondent to refer to the actual marriage.
- If a person got married more than once - ask about the year of the last marriage, and the year of the first marriage. This information is critical for studying fertility trends in the population.
