Abstract

OBJECTIVES

The study assessed the prevalence, determinants and coercive strategies relating to Marital Rape (MR) among women in Oyo State, Nigeria.

DESIGN

A cross-sectional survey.

SETTING

The study was conducted in 120 communities, 30 wards, 6 Local Government Areas in Oyo State.

PARTICIPANTS

A total of 1200 ever-married women aged 18-60 years were recruited using a multi-stage sampling.

METHODS

The participants were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire which captured MR-related experiences and coercive strategies. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and logistic regression. Odds ratios (OR) and their corresponding 95% Confidence Interval (CI) were reported.

RESULTS

Respondents' mean age was 36.6±9.6 years, while husbands' mean age was 42.1±10.3 years. Most (n=1094, 91.2%) respondents had ever married once and 82.8% (n=993) were currently married. The prevalence of MR was 15.3%. Physical force (n=153, 25.9%), followed by threat (n=139, 23.5%) topped the list of coercive strategies involved in MR. Currently, married women were at a higher risk of MR (OR: 2.73, CI: 1.39-5.37, P = 0.04) relative to divorced women. Respondents whose husbands were aged <30 years were at lower risk of MR (OR:0.03, CI: 0.002-0.47, P=0.01). Women who take decisions on sex alone were more likely to suffer MR (OR:3.95, CI: 1.38 - 11.31, P=0.01).

CONCLUSIONS

Marital rape existed among women with increased risk among those who were currently married, married to older partners or sole decision-makers on sex. Physical force was the commonest coercive strategy used to facilitate MR. Community-based MR -related interventions are recommended.

摘要

目的

本研究评估了在尼日利亚奥约州已婚妇女中，婚内强奸（MR）的流行率、决定因素和强制策略。

设计

横断面调查。

地点

本研究在奥约州的 120 个社区、30 个区、6 个地方政府区域进行。

参与者

共招募了 1200 名年龄在 18 至 60 岁之间的已婚妇女，使用多阶段抽样。

方法

采用半结构式问卷对参与者进行访谈，该问卷涵盖了与 MR 相关的经历和强制策略。使用描述性统计、卡方检验和逻辑回归分析数据。报告了比值比（OR）及其相应的 95%置信区间（CI）。

结果

受访者的平均年龄为 36.6±9.6 岁，而丈夫的平均年龄为 42.1±10.3 岁。大多数（n=1094，91.2%）受访者仅结过一次婚，82.8%（n=993）目前已婚。MR 的流行率为 15.3%。物理强制（n=153，25.9%），其次是威胁（n=139，23.5%），是 MR 中涉及的强制策略之首。目前，已婚女性相对于离婚女性，MR 的风险更高（OR：2.73，CI：1.39-5.37，P=0.04）。丈夫年龄<30 岁的受访者发生 MR 的风险较低（OR：0.03，CI：0.002-0.47，P=0.01）。在性方面独自做决定的女性更容易遭受 MR（OR：3.95，CI：1.38-11.31，P=0.01）。
