Explanation:

Ever married = Currently married + Widowed + Divorced + Separated. Information on marital status of the individuals has been collected in all the Indian censuses. However, a direct question on age at marriage was introduced for the first time in the 1971 Census when all currently married women were asked to state the age at which they got married.
