Abstract

AbstractChild marriage (CM) and intimate partner violence (IPV) are two global public health concerns, particularly in developing nations such as India. Despite this, evidence of the association between the two is limited. This study aims to examine the association between CM and lifetime experiences of IPV among Indian women. The study utilized the National Family Health Survey, 2019–2021 (NFHS-5), a large scale representative survey, to examine the association between CM and lifetime experiences of IPV in India. A total of 60,480 participants (Mage = 33.67 years) were included in the analysis. The prevalence of CM in the current sample was 38.3%. Experiencing any form of IPV, including emotional IPV, physical IPV, injuries, and sexual IPV, was reported by 29.9%, 11.9%, 26.4%, 6.0%, and 5.2%, participants respectively. Logistic regressions indicated that getting married before the age of 18 was significantly associated with experiencing any form of IPV (odds ratio (OR) = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.47–1.58, p < 0.01)), emotional IPV (OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.26–1.49, p < 0.01), physical IPV (OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.52–1.63, p < 0.01), injuries (OR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.51–1.72, p < 0.01), and sexual IPV (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.32–1.53, p < 0.01) from their intimate partners. Findings suggest that interventions are required for substantial reductions in CM and IPV.Keywords: Child marriageintimate partner violenceIndiaNational Family Health Survey Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsShankey VermaDr. Shankey Verma is Ph.D. in Behavioural Sciences from OP Jindal Global University, Sonipat, Haryana, India.

印度的童婚和亲密伴侣暴力:一项全国性研究

童婚(CM)和亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)是两个全球公共卫生问题，特别是在印度等发展中国家。尽管如此，两者之间联系的证据是有限的。本研究旨在探讨CM与印度女性IPV终生经历之间的关系。该研究利用了2019-2021年全国家庭健康调查(NFHS-5)，这是一项大规模代表性调查，以研究印度CM与IPV终生经历之间的关系。共有60,480名参与者(年龄为33.67岁)被纳入分析。目前样本CM患病率为38.3%。经历任何形式的IPV，包括情感IPV、身体IPV、伤害和性IPV，分别有29.9%、11.9%、26.4%、6.0%和5.2%的参与者报告。Logistic回归分析表明,18岁之前结婚的明显与任何形式的相关IPV(优势比(或)= 1.52,95% CI -1.58 = 1.47, p < 0.01),情感IPV(或= 1.33,95% CI -1.49 = 1.26, p < 0.01),物理IPV(或= 1.58,95% CI -1.63 = 1.52, p < 0.01),伤害(或= 1.61,95% CI -1.72 = 1.51, p < 0.01),和性IPV(或= 1.42,95% CI -1.53 = 1.32, p < 0.01),从他们的亲密伙伴。研究结果表明，需要采取干预措施来大幅减少CM和IPV。关键词:童婚亲密伴侣暴力印度国家家庭健康调查披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。关于贡献者的说明shankey VermaDr。Shankey Verma，印度哈里亚纳邦索尼帕特金达尔全球大学行为科学博士。他的研究兴趣为亲密伴侣暴力、公共卫生、心理健康和心理测量学。Rashmi Choudhury是phil。来自印度古吉拉特邦拉什特里亚罗刹大学。她的研究兴趣是儿童心理学、对妇女的暴力行为、受害者学和心理健康。
