Domestic violence is one of the crimes against women which is linked to their disadvantageous position in the society. Domestic violence refers to violence against women especially in matrimonial homes. Therefore domestic violence is recognized as the significant barriers of the empowerment of women, with consequences of women’s health, their health health-seeking behavior and their adoption of small family norm. However an attempt has been made to study whether ever married women of The National Family Health Survey 3 data, 2005-06 which covered 87,925 ever married women is used in the analysis. Background characteristics such as education, age, place of residence, caste, religion of the head of the household, mother’s diet, mother’s tobacco intake, are linked to domestic violence. An health index is computed to understand the relationship of married women’s health with domestic violence. Bivariate analysis is used to examine the variation of domestic violence by background characteristics. Logistic regression is carried out to predict the domestic violence with the selected independent variables. The analysis shows that the women belonging to low socio-economic status are more likely to agree with each of the different reasons justifying less severe domestic violence. Again domestic violence is more among mothers having imbalanced diet and tobacco intake.
