Abstract
This study examines the relationships among childhood abuse, marriage characteristics, adult intimate partner violence, and psychological well-being in 1,791 women in Nepal. The results indicated that Nepalese women married at a younger age were more likely to report poorer psychological well-being and experience psychological, physical, and sexual IPV.
