Question 20. What is your de facto current marital status?
[The options for this question are illegible]

Read the alternatives in the order in which they appear in the questionnaire, asking for the de facto marital state of the enumerated person. The de facto state should not be confused with the civil state. That is -- for example -- if the enumerated person has the civil state of "Widow" but at the moment of the Census lives together with a companion, you should mark the marital state "United".

The following questions of this part try to ascertain the occupational situation of the person you are enumerating.
