Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Kerry MacQuarrie:

According to the questionnaire for the NFHS-4, the base for the question on reasons for not using contraception (Q610 or v3a08a-z) excludes the following women:

• Women who are never married (v502==0)
• Women who are currently using a contraceptive method (v312>0) or are sterilized/have had a hysterectomy (s321a==1 | s250==1 | v312==6)
• Women who are currently pregnant (v213==1)
• Women who want a child within 2 years or is undecided/unsure of the timing or report they cannot get pregnant on Q605-606 (v605==1 | v605==3 | v605==7

I hope this helps!
