Question pretext

Question post text

FOR MEN WITH MORE THAN ONE WIFE/LIVE-IN PARTNERS ASK ABOUT THE MONTH ANDYEAR HE STARTED LIVING WITH HIS WIFE/PARTNER

Interviewer instructions

You need to do two things in this question. First, check back to the answer to Q609 and select the appropriate option. Then read the question under this option and record the response as given by the woman. We want to know the month and year when the respondent started living with her (first) husband or partner. If she can't remember the date, you will need to probe. The dates recorded in the birth history may help you in probing. For example, check the date of birth of her first child and ask her how many months or years before (or after) the birth she started living with her (first) husband or partner. Note that we are interested in the starting date of her first union (marriage or living together), not the date of first sex or first birth. Do not assume that the starting date of first union comes before date of the first birth; it may be that she had her first birth before her first union. If she answers in terms of the number of years, (for example, “two years ago”), probe to find the month and year. Notice that in recording the date in Q. 610, you will record both the month and year and if one of these items is not known, you will select DON'T KNOW for that item.
