9. Is (the respondent's) first or only spouse alive?
The first two columns must be completed before entries are made anywhere else in the questionnaire.
116. Column 9: If ever married is first or only spouse still alive?
Please code the response according to the list of codes given. Enter NA if person was never married. Avoid code 9 'Do not know' if possible. Remember for a person who has been married only once in life, he/she answers for this only spouse; for a person who has been married more than once, the answer is for his/her first spouse.
