Description

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