Q25 For all ever-married persons: "What was [the respondent's] age at first marriage?" Continuing with the first person listed "Person 01" 12 years old or over who was either married, widowed or divorced, ask question 25.
  • Do not ask this question of people who have never married.
  • This question is asking for the person's age when he/she was first married. This may have been before the current marriage. You should therefore be sure to emphasize this point when asking this question.
  • Write the age at first marriage in the boxes and shade the corresponding numbers.
