Description

Women who responded to FCCONTINU that female circumcision should continue were asked an open-ended question about why it should continue. FCCMARRY captures whether they said the practice should continue because it gives a woman better marriage prospects.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in wording, FCCMARRY has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

FCCMARRY is included in neither the standard DHS questionnaire nor in any of the three versions of the standard DHS module on female genital cutting.
