      Partner Violence: Findings from the Indian National Family Health Surveys.

AB  - Intimate partner violence (IPV) is widespread across the Global South, including 
      India, due to cultural and patriarchal norms that encourage and facilitate such 
      behaviors. These include age at marriage, community- and individual-level 
      encouragement of IPV, and limited access to education across the Global South, 
      particularly for women. Despite this, little research has sought to disentangle 
      the role that disabilities play in affecting women's risk of IPV in India. The 
      current study analyzes a sample of currently married women (N = 114,901) from the 
      nationally representative 2015-2016 and 2019-2021 National Family Health Surveys 
      (NFHS) to assess whether a relationship exists between these dimensions, while 
      controlling for well-known IPV correlates, with physical IPV and controlling 
      behaviors. Logistic regression analyses revealed that persons with 
      cognitive/intellectual disabilities as well as blind respondents were more likely 
      to experience physical IPV. Blind respondents were also more likely to experience 
      controlling behavior. Further, findings indicate that those with no or some 
      education were more likely to experience physical IPV relative to those with 
      higher education. Findings from the current study demonstrate the need for IPV 
      reduction policies to ensure that adequate accommodations are available to 
      facilitate help-seeking behaviors among persons with disabilities. Tailored 
      prevention policies are also needed which consider both context- and 
      location-specific factors associated with risk.
