[6] Mother
59. Column 6: Mother: Is you mother (i.e. natural mother) alive
The question is to be asked for knowing whether the person's mother is living at all. If the mother is alive anywhere you should give code 1. In case mother had died you should give code 2. In case the respondent cannot know whether his mother is alive due to separation from her at the time of war or political disturbance, you should give code 3. If you record code 1 for a person you should proceed to fill in column 7, if the person is aged 0-14. If that person is aged 15+ skip to column 8. If you record code 2 or code 3 for person skip to column 8.
