Abstract

Evidence on the relationship between women’s working status and intimate partner violence (IPV) remains mixed, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Moreover, limited research has examined whether this association varies by husbands’ attitudes toward violence. This study aimed to examine the association between women’s working status and IPV victimization, focusing on the moderating role of husbands’ attitudes toward wife-beating among married women in India.
