Two small corrections - instead of using v502==1 (currently married or living together), you need to use inlist(v501,1,2,4,5) (ever married, but excluding widowed). Also I recommend to include it in the statement where you set recent_spousal to 1 as there are a few cases of inconsistent reporting - that is widowed women gave an answer other than "widowed"

replace recent_spousal=0 if v044==1 & inlist(v501,1,2,4,5)
replace recent_spousal=1 if v044==1 & inlist(v501,1,2,4,5) & ///
(inrange(d105a,1,2) | inrange(d105b,1,2) | inrange(d105c,1,2) | inrange(d105d,1,2) | /// 
 inrange(d105e,1,2) | inrange(d105f,1,2) | inrange(d105g,1,2) | inrange(d105j,1,2))

For Cameroon 2004, as you note the questions are different, but if you use the equivalent variables from d105(x)n where (x) is a,b,c,d,e,f,g you can find those experienceing physical violence in the last 12 months.
