Comparability
MHMAR1Y is limited to ever-married women in all available samples, except for 1980 where ever-married men are included.
In 1980 and 1990, the MHMAR1Y variable includes women who have been married only once. These women also have values for "year of last marriage" (MHMARLY); for these cases, values of MHMAR1Y and MHMARLY are the same. In 1995, women who have been married only once are in-universe only for MHMARLY.
There is a great deal of variation in the in-universe age range for this variable. Please see the universe tab for details.
