FOR PERSONS 0 TO 9 YEARS OLD, WRITE AN X MARK IN THE BOX FOR SINGLE.
For persons below 10 years old, mark the box opposite “1” for Single without asking the question. For persons 10 years old and over ask: “What is ______'s marital status?” If the respondent has difficulty in understanding the question, you may ask him/her this way, “Is ____ single, married, widowed, divorced/separated, or in a common law/live-in arrangement?”
Below are the definitions of the categories of marital status:
1 Single - A person who has never been married.
2 Married - A person married in a religious or civil ceremony, either living together with spouse at the time of visit, or temporarily living apart because his/her spouse is employed elsewhere or is in the Armed Forces, and others.
3 Widowed - A married person whose spouse died and who has not remarried up to the time of visit.
4 Divorced/Separated - A person who is permanently separated from his/her spouse, legally, or through mutual consent. Also for a person whose marriage with another has been annulled or dissolved and can therefore remarry.
5 Common-law/Live-in - A person cohabiting or living consensually with another as husband and wife without the benefit of a legal marriage.
6 Unknown - A person whose marital status is unknown to the respondent, or whose marital status is being concealed by the respondent.
A WORD OF CAUTION
Some respondents may find this question too personal or a sensitive issue. Avoid antagonizing the respondent. Do not refute the reported marital status of any person. Disregard any knowledge you may have about the person and record only whatever is reported by the respondent.
