To calculate the proportion homophilous with respect to Marital Status, we need to look at the diagonal cells (top-left to bottom-right) and divide it by the total number of cells in the matrix.

From the matrix, we can see that there are 3 individuals who are married and have friends who are also married, and 2 individuals who are single and have friends who are also single. Therefore, the proportion homophilous with respect to Marital Status is:

(3+2) / (3+2+2+1) = 5/8 = 0.625

So, 62.5% of the individuals in the network are homophilous with respect to their Marital Status
