- Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health and gender problem, especially in low-income countries. The study focused on verbal abuse, physical abuse and abuse by restricting food provision to wives by their husbands by victim and perpetrator characteristics, emphasizing the socioeconomic context of rural Bangladesh. Using a cross-sectional household survey of 4411 randomly selected married women of reproductive age, the study found that a majority of the respondents are exposed to verbal abuse (79%), while 41% are exposed to physical abuse. A small proportion (5%) of the women had suffered food-related abuse. Risk factors observed were age of the wife, illiteracy (of both victims and perpetrators), alcohol misuse, dowry management, husband’s monetary greed involving parents-in-law, and wife’s suspicions concerning husband’s extramarital affairs. Well-established risk factors for wife abuse, along with dowry and husband’s monetary greed, have a relatively high prevalence in rural Bangladesh. © 2009 Cambridge University Press.
