Here we want to know the month and year when the respondent started living with her (first) husband or partner. Check Q.508, if the respondent has been in union more than once, ask for the month and year she started living with her (first) husband/partner.
If she can't remember the date, probe, using the techniques discussed in Q.105 and Q.106. It also might be possible to probe using the pregnancy history. For example, check the date of birth of her first child and ask her how many months or years before (or after) the birth she started living with her (first) husband or partner. Note that we are interested in the starting date of her first union (marriage or living together arrangement), not the date of first sex or first birth. Do not assume that the starting date of first union comes before the date of first birth; it may be that the first birth comes before first union.
If she answers in terms of the number of years ago (for example, "two years ago"), probe to find the month. If the woman does not know the month, encircle “98” for DON'T KNOW MONTH. If she knows the year, but not the month, encircle “98” for DON'T KNOW MONTH and fill in the boxes for YEAR and skip to Q.511. If the respondent cannot tell you the year, encircle “9998” for DON'T KNOW YEAR and go on to ask her age when she started living with that (first) husband/partner (Q.510). Notice that in recording the date in Q.509, you will record both the month and year and if one of these items is not known, you will record “DON'T KNOW” for that item.
