<p>The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of domestic violence on women’s health and their healthcare access. Here, domestic violence includes physical violence, sexual violence, and emotional violence. The study is based on secondary data and the data is taken from the National Family Health Survey, round 5 (2020–21). The data file “Couple recode” is used here which is exclusively for women and their spouses and includes data on their socioeconomic and demographic profiles, women’s health issues, and domestic violence. The sample size is 46,488 of which 7,763 women are found to have experienced at least one kind of violence. The study shows that control issues are the most prominent causes of domestic violence followed by women’s higher education levels and earnings than their spouses. Age differences and drinking alcohol by men are other major reasons for domestic violence. The study further shows that domestic violence creates higher health issues such as anaemia, hypertension, low hemoglobin, heart disease, and respiratory problems among women. Women get afraid of their husbands and hence, they find difficulty in getting permission to go to healthcare facilities. They also face greater monetary problems which prevent them from healthcare access. In the short term, victim women ignore complaining about domestic violence with others, although if violence continues for a longer period, they do not hesitate to complain.</p>
