“…Following the narrative provided in the earlier sections, the discussion focuses on the role of women's work status influencing the probability of experiencing violence. Most of the other variables have already been tested before in other studies on domestic violence (Vijayendra Rao 1997;Shireen Jejeebhoy 1998;Dallan F. Flake 2005;Pradeep Panda and Bina Agarwal 2005). Notes: Robust standard errors in parentheses.…”

Enhancing women's labor force participation is seen as a way to promote their empowerment and improve their well-being and that of their children. The empirical literature on the relationship between women's employment status and domestic violence is less clear-cut. Using quantitative data from Jordan in 2007, this study explores the effect of women's employment, as measured by their participation in paid work outside the home, on reported domestic violence, controlling for the potential endogeneity of women's employment, which might bias the relationship between employment and domestic violence. Without taking endogeneity into account, the regression results suggest that a woman's participation in paid work enhances violence by her husband. After controlling for endogeneity, these results turn out to be insignificant, which suggests that women's work status has no causal influence on marital violence. Differentiating between various types of domestic violence provides weak evidence that women's employment lowers sexual violence.

“…Studies in the United States and elsewhere indicate that between 4±8% of women are physically abused during pregnancy (Gazmararian, Lazorick, Spitz, Ballard, Saltzman & Marks, 1996). There is also considerable evidence regarding the links between alcohol consumption and men's abusive behaviour (Rao, 1997;Hotaling & Sugarman, 1986;Leonard, 1993).…”

“…However, in most cases it is even demanded after marriage by the husband and his family (Khan, 2001). The positive association between dowry demand and violence against women has been traced by many studies in Bangladesh as well as in India (Rao, 1997;Banarjee, 1999;Bates et al, 2004;Naved and Persson, 2005;Naved and Persson, 2010). Out of a similar patriarchal ideology, some perpetrators restricted women's mobility, mariginalised them, took control of women's economic, social, sexual and reproductive lives and decisions, and so on.…”

This study examines the causes of domestic violence against rural Bangladeshi women. By drawing on thirty-nine semi-structured in-depth interviews through phenomenological approach of qualitative study, conducted in eight rural settings in Netrokona and Mymensingh districts, it was found that every experience of the women with domestic violence has a context or contexts. Broadly, the prominent causes of domestic violence were identified as dowry-demand, polygamy and extramarital relations, in-laws syndrome, childless and sonless state, questioning husbands, and not meeting the husbands’ and in-laws’ expectations. Patriarchal structure and system of the society are broadly and dominantly interwoven in every factor of domestic violence. Making structural changes to women’s subordination is the most important strategic response to eliminate or prevent domestic violence from the society.
