世界各地进行的研究一致表明存在暴力侵害妇女行为。尽管在其他地方对暴力侵害年轻已婚妇女的行为进行了越来越多的研究，但尼泊尔的研究人员和决策者很少注意这一问题。本文件评估了尼泊尔农村地区年轻已婚妇女中暴力行为的普遍程度。具体而言，它审查了妇女地位[相关因素]，以便更好地了解暴力风险。2009年对四个主要族裔群体的1 296名15至24岁的年轻已婚妇女进行了一项横断面研究。采用双变量分析和多变量logistic回归分析研究选定的危险因素与暴力之间的关系。一半以上的妇女（51.9%）报告说，她们在一生中经历过某种形式的暴力。四分之一（25.3%）报告了身体暴力，近一半（46.2%）报告了性暴力。同样，三分之一（35.8%）的妇女报告在过去12个月中遭受过某种形式的暴力。配偶之间没有或很少交流，妇女自主性低，大大增加了已婚妇女遭受暴力的可能性。在尼泊尔农村地区，对妇女的暴力行为在年轻已婚妇女中相当普遍。虽然已经颁布了《2066年家庭暴力和惩罚法》，但需要同样重视提高妇女的自主权和鼓励配偶间交流的活动。此外，尼泊尔需要进行更多的研究，审查丈夫实施暴力的动态。
Studies conducted around the world consistently show the existence of violence against women. Despite the increasing number of studies being conducted on violence against young married women elsewhere, this subject has received little attention from researchers and policy makers in Nepal. This paper assesses the prevalence of violence among young married women in rural Nepal. Specifically, it examines [factors related to] women's status in order to better understand the risk of violence. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2009 among 1,296 young married women aged 15-24 years in four major ethnic groups. Bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to examine the association between selected risk factors and violence. More than half the women (51.9%) reported having experienced some form of violence in their lifetime. One-fourth (25.3%) reported physical violence and nearly half (46.2%) reported sexual violence. Likewise, one-third (35.8%) of women reported experiencing some form of violence in the past 12 months. No or little inter-spousal communication and low autonomy of women significantly increases the odds of experiencing violence among married women. The violence against women is quite common among young married women in rural Nepal. Although the Domestic Violence and Punishment Act 2066 has been enacted, equal attention needs to be given to increasing women's autonomy and activities that encourage inter-spousal communication. Furthermore, more research is required in Nepal that examines dynamics of violence perpetrated by husbands.
