This is a 2-digit variable that represents how long the woman has been in the relationship with her current partner, except for the following codes.
95 = Not interviewed (female questionnaire)
96 = Not interviewed (household questionnaire)
99 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
For women who are not currently married or living with a man but are currently in a relationship, RELATIONSHIPVAL, together with RELATIONSHIPTIME, reports for how long the woman has been in the relationship with her current partner.
Note that the codes in this variable are not reported in a specific unit of time i.e., months, or years. Rather, the unit of time in which the woman responded is reported in RELATIONSHIPTIME. Users must use both RELATIONSHIPVAL and RELATIONSHIPTIME to determine the exact amount of time that the woman has been in the relationship with her current partner.
The question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire. For maternal and newborn health samples, this question was included in the female baseline survey.
