Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
There is no Polygamous status for females. Generally the information about polygamous status is available only for the head (male). For the other individuals we consider those having the status married as monogamous.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Since divorced/separated or widowed were aggregated in an “other category”, with no other indicators that enable identifying the actual marital status, an assumption was put to re-indentify the marital status according to the age, members aged 60 years or older were assumed to be widowed, where others aged less than 60 years were assumed to be divorced./separated
