Item 37. Years married, widowed, divorced, or separated

261. Item 37. Number of years since married, widowed, divorced, or separated.-There should be an entry for every person who is married, widowed, divorced, or separated ("Mar," "Wd," "D," or "Sep" in item 12) and who is on the last sample line. To make answering this question easier, look at items 12 and 36 before asking the question. If item 36 indicates the person has been married only once and item 12 has an entry of "Mar," ask, "How many years since he was married?" For those persons married more than once ("Yes" in item 36) who are coded "Mar" ins item 12 ask, "How many years since he was last married?" Leave this item blank for all persons coded "Nev" in item 12.

262. Count whole years.-For persons married, widowed, divorced, or separated less than a full year check the box "Less than 1 year." For all other married, widowed, divorced, or separated persons enter the number of full years the person has spent in his present marital status. Do not count part of a year as a whole year.

115. Column 9. Number of years of present marriage.?This question applies only to persons reported as married, and the answer should give the number of years married to the present husband or wife. thus a woman who may have been married for 10 to a former husband, but has been married only 3 years to her present husband, should be returned as married 3 years. The number of years entered should be the number of completed years. For instance, a person who on April 15, the census day, has been married 3 years and 11 months should be returned as married 3 years. For a person married less than 1 year, write "0" (meaning less than 1 year).
