Description
DIVORCWHY reports the main cause of the woman's divorce or separation.
Comparability
Apart from slight differences in question wording, DIVORCWHY is largely comparable across samples. Some samples supply additional reasons (e.g., "husband unfaithful") that may be subsumed elsewhere (e.g., in "marital conflict" or "other") in other samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DIVORCWHY is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
