•The category informal union will include all household members who live as husband and wife but they are not legally recognized as husband and wife.
•The category Divorced will include all household members who have signed the legal divorce paper and they do not live together anymore.
•The category separated will include all household members who have been living together as husband and wife, but they do not live together anymore due to some misunderstanding, but they have not signed the divorce papers.
