For the most recent Cambodia DHS2021-22, women who were never married but had intimate partners/boyfriends were also included for the estimation of intimate partner violence (IPV). However, in the previous Cambodia DHS2014 only ever-married women were asked about intimate partner violence.

I am trying to look at the trends of intimate partner violence using the 2014 and 2021-22 DHSs conducted in Cambodia and need to ensure that when I compare IPV from Cambodia DHS 2014 with Cambodia DHS 2021-22 , I am using only the ever-married sample from DHS2021-22 survey.

The variable v502 provides information on "currently/formerly/never in union", while v501 provides information on "current marital status". But I am not quite sure how to identify/select the ever-married sample from Cambodia DHS2021-22; would removing variable v501's category 2="living with a partner", and category 5="no longer living together/separated", make the sub-sample "ever-married"?

Could you kindly guide me as to how I should ensure that I select 'ever-married women' only from the Cambodia DHS2021-22 to correctly look at the trends please?

Thank you!
