Abstract
- This study is a multiple logistic regression analysis of the relationship between dimensions of women’s status and domestic abuse in rural Uttar Pradesh, India, using the 1998-1999 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-2). Findings indicate that the effects of a woman’s status on her likelihood of experiencing abuse depend on the social realm within which status operates. Specifically, more “public” dimensions of status are associated with a greater probability of abuse, while “domestic” dimensions are protective. The findings are interpreted in terms of transitioning gender norms in Uttar Pradesh and provide clarity to the literature on the complex relationship between status and abuse.
