There is no polygamous status for females. Generally the information about polygamous status is available only for the male head. For the other individuals, we consider those having the status married as monogamous.

The "married polygamous" category was generated for the head of the household only if the number of spouses exceeds "1". The code "1" in the original variable indicating those below the question age category were recoded missing.
