A comparison study on family violence rate in wives with addicted and non-addicted husbands in Urmia
As a major problem, addiction endangers life of people and makes families confront various problems such as violence against women.
300 women who had experienced violence (39 of them had addicted husbands) were investigated. The researchers collected data by a questionnaire about physical, sexual, economic and verbal-mental violence.
The rate of physical, sexual and economic violence among women with addicted husbands was 92.3% (36 women), 79.5% (31women) and 76.9% (30 women) respectively. This rate among women with non-addicted was 88.9% (232 women), 71.6% (187women) and 88.9% (232 women). The rate of physical (P=0.042) and economic violence (P= 0.036) against women with addicted husbands was higher. However, there wasn’t a significant relationship between husbands’ addiction and sexual violence.
Considering the results, it is necessary to make effort to prevent addiction through careful pre-marriage tests and eliminate factors which cause addiction such as poverty and unemployment.
