Comparability

Along with universe difference, EVERMARRIED (V535) has some differences in question wording. Most earlier samples asked, "Have you ever been married or lived with a man?" Later samples asked, "Have you ever been married or lived together with a man as if married?"

Further variations in wording are noted below.

Comparability - Standard DHS

EVERMARRIED is based on a question in the standard DHS questionnaire, with the words "as if married" added to "lived with a man" beginning in Phase V.

Comparability — India [top]

For India 2005 and 2015, information for EVERMARRIED was collected through the general marital status question of "What is your current marital status?" Currently-married women were dropped, and the remaining cases were recoded as "no" or "formerly married" (with no "lived with a man" category).

Comparability — Kenya [top]

The 2003 Kenyan survey form distinguished between "formerly married with certificate" and "formerly married by custom."

Comparability — Namibia [top]

The 2000 Namibia questionnaire distinguishes between "formerly married with certificate" and "formerly married by custom."

Comparability — South Africa [top]

The 2016 South Africa survey asks, "Have you ever been married or lived together with someone as if married?" Unlike most other surveys, the 2016 South Africa survey does not limit marriage or cohabitation to a relationship between a man and a woman.
