Full Description
Flag for existence of a marriage for which date is unknown because it was not collected
in the SIPP.
The marital history topical module asks about a person's first and second marriages
and then his or her most recent marriage. If any other marriages occurred after the
second but before the most recent, no information about this marriage is collected.
However, individuals are categorized as having 1, 2, 3, or more than 3 marriages.
We create flag_mar4t to identify individuals who reported more than 3 marriages.
