AB  - The influence of husband's alcohol consumption and that of women's empowerment 
      has been largely studied separately in relation to the intimate partner violence 
      (IPV) faced by women, which has hindered a nuanced understanding of gender-based 
      violence in India. This study aimed to understand how husbands' alcohol 
      consumption shapes the relationship between women's empowerment and violence 
      among Indian couples. Data from the 2015-16 National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 
      were used in this study. A composite women's empowerment index was constructed 
      and its association with husbands' drunkenness and odds of facing emotional, 
      physical, severe, and sexual violence was examined. This study found that 
      compared to women whose husbands were never drunk, those whose husbands were 
      sometimes or often drunk had significantly higher odds of experiencing physical, 
      emotional, and sexual violence. For all the types of IPV, an increase in the 
      empowerment index was associated with a significant reduction in the odds of 
      experiencing violence. However, increasing frequency of husband's drunkenness in 
      combination with increasing scores on the empowerment index was associated with a 
      significant increase in the odds of IPV, except sexual violence. Our findings 
      highlight the nuances of IPV, situating the experiences of women in the social, 
      cultural, and economic realities of Indian society.
