This study examined prevalence and correlates of spousal physical or sexual violence against married women in Nepal using a nationally representative sample of 3,373 women. About 23 percent had experienced physical abuse and 14 percent had experienced sexual violence by their husbands. Compared to women married at age 20 and after, those married by age 15 had 83 percent and 71 percent higher odds of experiencing physical and sexual abuse respectively. Other risk factors included: husband’s humiliation of wife in front of others, jealousy and mistrust, excessive consumption of alcohol, and women’s awareness of physical violence against their mothers.
