Background: Violence against women, which is seen in most societies, is a concealed social disorder. This social issue in itself gives rise to other health and social problems among its victims. This study attempted to identify the contributing factors in violence against women in Iran by evaluating the cases referred to Karaj Forensic Medicine Center.
Materials and methods: In this case– control study, a questionnaire was fulfilled for 100 married women who suffered violence at home and referred by the judiciary in 2005 to Karaj forensic medicine center, and also 100 married women who referred to Karaj forensic medicine kenter by the judiciary for reasons other than wife abuse and report no history of violence at home.
Results: With increasing age of women and men, wife abuse decreased. There was no significant association between education level of men or women and wife abuse (NS). Crime history (P<0.001), polygamy (P<0.001), religious conviction (P<0.001) and addiction of husband (P<0.001) had a significant association with wife abuse.
Conclusion: Lower age of woman, addiction of man, and low economic welfare of family of man were independent predictors of wife abuse. In addition, our study revealed that incompatibility of partners, guardianship of a person in family of husband, polygamy, religious conviction of man, violence against children, man job, and history of criminal record are the contributing factors in wife abuse.
