I'm using the Women's Individual file to estimate the prevalence of females who have experienced child marriage (first marriage before age 18) and/or sexual violence in various countries by creating a joint indicator of the two variables. Since the age at marriage variable (v511) is asked of all women in the sample and the violence questions (d108, d125, d124, d126) are only asked to one woman per household in the violence module, what weight should I be using for this joint indicator? If I use the domestic violence weight (d005), the estimate will reflect only those in the domestic violence subsample but will this accurately estimate those who were married by age 18? And if I use the regular weight, it seems like it will underestimate those who have experienced violence.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!
