Description

MARTYPOTHER indicates whether the female respondent's last marriage was of some "other" type (for example, was not a civil marriage, religious marriage, or traditional marriage, but instead a private agreement between spouses without marriage). The precise meaning of "other" depends on the question wording and categories included in a particular sample.
