Description

Definition

CURRMARR (V502) reports the woman's marital/union status as "Never married," "Currently married," or "Formerly married."

"Never married" includes women who have never lived with a partner. "Currently married" includes women who are married and those who are not formally married but are living with a partner. "Formerly married" includes women who are widowed, divorced, or separated, or who have formerly lived with a partner. For samples restricted to ever-married women, only women who are formally married (not cohabiting) are included as "married."
