Working women, who are earning cash and having access to mobile phones, perpetrate more spousal violence on husbands in India, revealed research conducted by health experts at the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai.
The research also noted that ‘with increase in wife’s age, spousal violence on husbands increases’, contrary to the common finding that spousal violence on women declined with age.
They noted that prevalence of violence against husband was higher in a nuclear family.
