Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a globally recognized societal problem that requires intensive research to raise public awareness.
Accordingly, the purpose of the study is to analyze IPV at the physical, psychological, and social aspects of abuse.
The methodology of the study correlates IPV to the personal experiences of notable Indian writer, Meena Kandasamy, according to the autobiographical account of her abusive married life in the award-winning novel When I Hit You, which depicts the horrible treatment of women by their perpetrators within a closed sphere. To substantiate, the selected autobiographical work is compared with Lenore Edna Walker's prominent Cycle of Violence theory, which best describes why women become victims and also the abuser's tactics in controlling the women in a violent relationship.
The study's findings suggest that IPV, a serious global problem, requires government intervention and severe legal enforcement to protect women's lives from the clutches of the abuser.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个全球公认的社会问题，需要深入研究以提高公众意识。
因此，本研究的目的是从身体、心理和社会虐待方面分析亲密伴侣暴力。
该研究的方法将亲密伴侣暴力与印度著名作家米娜·坎达萨米的个人经历相关联，依据她在获奖小说《当我打你时》中对虐待婚姻生活的自传描述，该小说描绘了女性在封闭环境中遭受施虐者的可怕对待。为了证实这一点，将所选的自传作品与莱诺雷·埃德娜·沃克著名的暴力循环理论进行比较，该理论最能解释女性为何成为受害者以及施虐者在暴力关系中控制女性的策略。
该研究的结果表明，亲密伴侣暴力作为一个严重的全球问题，需要政府干预和严格的法律执行，以保护女性的生命免受施虐者的侵害。
