I'm working with the 2005 - 2006 India Couple Recode.
If there is more than one couple in a household, are they included as well?

Following is a response from Senior DHS Data Processing Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:

The couple's file is constructed based on the declaration of the woman. In case there are two or more women who declared being the wives of the same man, they are all included in the couple's file. By doing so the same husband is included in the data file more than once - one occurrence for each of the wives.
