Interviewer instructions

Question 612 asks about whether the woman chose her partner for herself or he was chosen for her (in an arranged marriage/union). Q613-614 ask about the age of the partner. We would want to know whether the partner was older, younger or the same age as the woman. If the woman says he was older, we need to know the general age difference by asking Q616C.
