Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a well recognized public health issue. Intimate partner violence is actual or threatened physical, sexual, psychological, or emotional abuse by a current or former spouse (including common-law spouse), dating partner, or boyfriend or girlfriend. The dependence hypothesis suggests that when men have higher levels of education, bring in more resources, make more money, and dominate decision making in the home, women are more likely to be abused because they are dependent on their husbands .
