If conditions not applying to char constants. Char being ignored

I have written various programs using the if condition, and they always seem to work only when I am using integer or float constants. Whenever i use char constants, the if condition completely ignores it. Here is an example:

    #include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
 int age;
char status,gender;

printf("Enter age, marital status and gender");
scanf("%d%c%c",&age,&status,&gender);

  if((status=='m')||(status=='u' && gender=='m' && age>35) ||
   (status=='u' && gender=='f' && age>25)
    )
       printf("Driver is insured" );

          else
         printf("Driver is not insured");

        }

For instance, if I enter status as u, gender as m and age as 38, it yet says that driver is not insured. Here is the program from cmd:

Enter age, marital status and gender 39 u m Driver is nt insured Press any key to continue . . .
