Description

HUSB2INHOME indicates whether the female respondent's second husband lived with her after marriage. This variable combines both women who are currently married to their second husband and women who are not currently married to their second husband. For women who are currently married to their second husband, this variable indicates whether the woman's husband is currently living with her. For women who are not currently married to their second husband, this variable indicates whether the woman's husband always lived with her after marriage.

The related variable HUSBINHOME (V504) indicates whether the female respondent's current husband/partner (regardless of the number of unions) lives with the woman or lives elsewhere.

Comparability

IPUMS-DHS uses 2-digit composite coding for HUSB2INHOME. The first digit indicates whether the woman lied with her second husband after marriage (0 for yes, 1 for no). The second digit provides additional detail (e.g., code "11" for "No, only lived with husband some of the time").

Comparability - Standard DHS

HUSB2INHOME is a country-specific variable and is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
