Questions and instructions
Literal question
In what month and year did you first marry or start living with a man as if married?
Post question
If answer is not 98 and answer for question MA6Y is not 9998 > Go to question MA8A
Interviewer instructions
If the respondent knows the month that she first married or started living with a man as if married, write it in the appropriate spaces for 'Month'. You will need to convert the month into numbers, as instructed earlier. For this, January is '01,' February is '02,' March is '03,' etc.
If she does not recall the month that she first married or started living with a man as if married, ask whether she has any documentation that might give the month. If she does not know or have documentation of the month, circle '98' for 'DK Month'.
If both the month and year are known, skip to MA8A. If either the month or the year is not known, continue to the next question.
