Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You will be ok just using the BR file as it is. Same for the KR file. The aw factors are not used in the analysis of the children's data.

Where EMW surveys are used, it is assumed that never-married women have no children. Certainly there will be exceptions to that generalization, but probably very few. Women with no births do not contribute children to the BR and KR files. The only file that is affected by the EMW restriction is the IR file.
