Aside from the scanf is evil problem, you also have a problem with array
addressing.  Note that in C, the first
address starts at 0 not 1.  So the line

char marital_stat[5];

sets up an array with 5 elements that must be addressed as marital_stat[0]
through marital_stat[4].  You should check the loop in getting_the_info().
If you try to access marital_stat[5] bad things will happen to your helpless
program.
