N2  - This study assesses the relationship of power relations, attitudes toward wife-beating, and controlling behavior of husband with violence against women in  India using the recent National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4). In India, about 31%  of ever-married women experienced domestic violence committed by their partner  during 2015-16. Women's decision-making power was associated with a decreased  likelihood of spousal violence. However, the justification of wife-beating and  controlling behavior of husband increased the risk of intimate partner violence. This study emphasizes the need for prioritizing girls' education, enhancing women's  autonomy, prevention of child marriage, and promoting gender equality in society to  address the problem of spousal violence.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
