Thank you a lot Trevor! Firstly, Now I can really reproduce the report numbers for age >= 15 in the individual file. Secondly, following your advice on how to work on age <= 15 also worked well, but brought the same numbers, which I already had before (and were close to the report numbers).
There are a few more married women in the PR-dataset than in the women/individual dataset, which might be the main cause of different numbers. Though they were eligible, interviews could not always be completed. And although all women factors are calculated at the Household level, even if the absolute numbers in the women dataset are smaller, because of the constant proportions in the all wome factors (ratio all women to ever-married women), at least the percentages (% ever married) should be the same in both procedures.
Is there an explanation for even different marriage rates/percentages? The percentages are often, but not always equal. I found up to several %points difference.
