Following is a response from DHS staff member Tom Pullum:
The Guide to DHS Statistics provides the most complete documentation. If you are unclear about a specific indicator, please give a specific table and report in which you find it.
"Wife beating is justified" is a set of five variables that are based on five questions, which are given separately in a table, such as table 15.10.1 in the Nigeria 2018 report. You can find the exact wording of the questions in the women's or men's questionnaires that are included in an appendix at the end of the final report. The possible responses are "no, yes, don't know". The tables give the percentages who report "Yes".
The table (e.g. table 15.10.1 in the Nigeria 2018 report) includes a column titled "Percentage who agree with at least one specified reason." Are you asking how that column is calculated? One way to get this summary indicator would be as follows:
gen v744abcde=0 if v744a<. & v744b<. & v744c<. & v744d<. & v744e<.
replace v744abcde=1 if v744a==1 | v744b==1 | v744c==1 | v744d==1 | v744e==1
tab v744abcde [iweight=v005/1000000]
