I'm studying the ages at first marriage and birth using the NFHS using survival analysis. I have a couple of questions:
1. In 1992-3, I can't seem to find the century month codes for age at first marriage. Is this variable not available for the first round of the survey?
2. Does the CMC for date of first marriage (v509) refer to the marriage date pre- or post- gauna in 1998-9 and 2005-6?
Thanks!
sowmya.

Hello,
I was wondering if the above correction was made and, if so, when was the updated dataset released?
I downloaded the India 1992-3 DHS survey in the fall of 2013, and the variable S113 only has 1,604 non-missing observations out of the 89,777 individual respondents.
Should I make the above adjustments to age at first marriage or is V511 now reliable?
Thank you,
