Hello,

I am trying to calculate the median age at first marriage for Afghanistan 2015 DHS. For that, I am using DHS stata code accessible at https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/tree/mast er/Chap04_MS

The median age at first marriage for 20-49 year old women I seem to be getting is 18.19

However this is different from the median age at first marriage indicator on STATCompiler which is 18.8.

Since the Afghanistan DHS report has been withdrawn, I'm not sure exactly how to check this indicator. Can someone guide me on how to replicate this result?
