Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
All of the India surveys are all-women surveys. For such surveys you do not need to use the all-women factors. You can see this by entering the Stata command "summarize aw*". The means of the factors are 100 and the standard deviations are 0, meaning that they are coded 100 for all women. 100 is a scale factor; when the aw factors ARE used, the values are divided by 100.
All-women factors are relevant for surveys limited to EVER married women; no DHS surveys are limited to CURRENTLY married women.
The convention is to use d005 if your analysis includes variables from the DV module or is limited to women who were included in the module. Otherwise you use v005. You do not need to construct new weights.
