Interviewer instructions
For the purpose of this survey, 'married couple' will mean the couples either formed through marriage or through the system of live-together as reported by the informant. Total number of married couples in the household irrespective of their ages is to be recorded in this item. When both the husband and the wife (i.e., the male and female partners) are the household members, they should be considered for counting the number of married couples. If one of them is a household member and the other is not a household member, it should not be counted as a married couple. A man with two wives in a household will constitute two married couples. But one woman with two husbands in a household will form a single couple. If there is no married couple in the household entry will be '0'.
