Dear Bridgette,

I first of all converted the data in the couple recode from wide format to long format. Then i created a unique id for each entry. Due to polygamy, i had to drop 42 entries. After that, i merged this with the Caste/Tribe file, and then reconverted the data into wide format. Now, the caste information is missing for 1313 females and 1319 males. This effectively makes 2632 couples' information incomplete.
Is there a way to rectify this issue? i.e. can the missing caste data be obtained for the missing entries?

Thanks and regards
Komal
