We conducted a survey to examine the relationships among gender, caste, and economic inequalities and marital violence among women in rural South India. Thirty-four percent of 397 women reported having ever been hit, forced to have sex by their husbands, or both. Women belonging to lower caste, poorer households, having greater economic autonomy, and whose husbands consumed alcohol were more likely to report violence. In multivariate analyses, indicators of women's economic autonomy and husbands' alcohol consumption were significantly associated with violence, independent of caste and economic status, which highlights the need to address the links between gender inequalities and marital violence.
我们开展了一项调查，以研究印度南部农村地区女性的性别、种姓和经济不平等与婚姻暴力之间的关系。在397名女性中，34%的人报告称曾遭受丈夫殴打、被迫发生性行为或两者皆有。属于低种姓、家庭贫困、经济自主权较大且丈夫酗酒的女性更有可能报告遭受暴力。在多变量分析中，女性经济自主权和丈夫酗酒的指标与暴力行为显著相关，不受种姓和经济地位影响，这凸显了解决性别不平等与婚姻暴力之间联系的必要性。
