Question 9 - Family status (for persons aged 15 and above)
The mark that corresponds to the one of the mentioned variant of response is written down to persons aged 15 and above.
[p.21]
Single (never married) is marked to persons who were never married.
Married is marked to persons who are within marriage registered in RAGS [office of civil registration].
Live with partner is marked to persons who are within marriage not registered in RAGS.
Widower/widow is marked to persons who were within marriage (regardless the marriage was registered or not) that ended because of husband's (wife's) death and who didn't get married again.
Divorced is marked to persons who were within registered marriage before and now they are not married and their divorce is registered in RAGS.
Separated is marked to persons who were within unregistered marriage before but now they are not married and their separation is not registered in RAGS. It is also marked to persons who were within unregistered marriage before and for now they broke up.
If there is a married couple within a household then to husband in a specially outlined framework you should fill out the number under which his wife is written down within the household (graph 1 of form 1) and to wife -- the number under which her husband is written down. If only one (husband or wife) of married couple is written down within the household then the number is not filled out.
The answer to this question is not generally written down to persons under 15 years; only in case the respondents are actually married you should write down the relative mark.
