Spanish term or phrase: mujeres actualmente unidas
En Peru 98% de las mujeres actualmente unidas conoce, o ha oido hablar, de algun metodo anticonceptivo.

Que quire decir "unida"? Que la mujer tiene una relacion constante? No es lo mismo que "casada"? Gracias.

agree  nothing: Sí, yo añadiría “living”, porque se refiere a las mujeres que viven maritalmente con un hombre

  -> Tienes razón. Yo entendería 'tener una pareja' como 'vivir' con él/ella, pero no se puede suponer que siempre sea así. Es bueno aclararlo. Gracias, nothing.

I wonder why they didn\'t use \"currently sexually active\"

As you say, Roman, I would think that it is necessary to make some sort of a differentiation (as far as NOT LIMITED TO married women), because obviously birth control would benefit more than just married women.

And on that note, it would benefit ALL SEXUALLY ACTIVE women, whether they have a husband, a partner, or a different guy each week.
