OBJECTIVE
To assess whether a history of adolescent marriage (<18 years) places women in young adulthood in India at increased risk of physical or sexual marital violence.
METHODS
Cross-sectional analysis was performed on data from a nationally representative household study of 124385 Indian women aged 15-49 years collected in 2005-2006. The analyses were restricted to married women aged 20-24 years who participated in the marital violence (MV) survey module (n=10514). Simple regression models and models adjusted for participant demographics were constructed to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between adolescent marriage and MV.
RESULTS
Over half (58%) of the participants were married before 18 years of age; 35% of the women had experienced physical or sexual violence in their marriage; and 27% reported such abuse in the last year. Adjusted regression analyses revealed that women married as minors were significantly more likely than those married as adults to report ever experiencing MV (adjusted OR 1.77; 95% CI, 1.61-1.95) and in the last 12 months (adjusted OR 1.51; 95% CI, 1.36-1.67).
CONCLUSIONS
Women who were married as adolescents remain at increased risk of MV into young adulthood.
目的
评估少女婚姻（<18 岁）是否会使印度年轻成年期的女性面临更高的身体或性婚姻暴力风险。
方法
对 2005-2006 年进行的一项全国性家庭调查的 124385 名 15-49 岁印度女性的数据进行了横断面分析。仅对 20-24 岁的已婚女性进行了分析，这些女性参加了婚姻暴力（MV）调查模块（n=10514）。构建了简单回归模型和调整参与者人口统计学特征的模型，以估计少女婚姻与 MV 之间的关联的比值比（OR）和 95%置信区间（CI）。
结果
超过一半（58%）的参与者在 18 岁之前结婚；35%的女性在婚姻中经历过身体或性暴力；27%的女性在过去一年中报告了这种虐待。调整后的回归分析显示，未成年结婚的女性比成年结婚的女性更有可能报告曾经历过 MV（调整后的 OR 1.77；95%CI，1.61-1.95）和在过去 12 个月中（调整后的 OR 1.51；95%CI，1.36-1.67）。
结论
少女时期结婚的女性在年轻成年期仍面临更高的 MV 风险。
