Description

OTHWIVESNUM reports the number of other wives the respondent or the respondent's husband has.

Comparability

For women respondents, this variable specifically refers to number of other wives her husband/partner has other than herself. For men respondents, this variable refers to the number of wife/partner or wives/partners in addition to the wife/partner referred to in previous questions.

For most samples, the numeric response refers to the number of additional wives, not the total number of wives. To calculate the total number of wives, add one to the value in OTHWIVESNUM. This variable is top-coded at 20+ wives.
