| description | Background: In a society where rape is considered the most horrible crime against women, marital rape
or intimate partner sexual violence is still not recognized as a form of violence. This paper aims to
determine the reasons behind intimate partner sexual violence and its psychological consequences in
Chittagong.
Methods: Twenty married women from rural and urban areas were interviewed in-depth. The sampling
technique used was purposive sampling. Interviews began with their consent and continued after that.
Result: Half of the participants admitted to feeling inferior in their marriages. Moreover, before entering
into an intimate relationship, more than half of the participants are not asked for their permission.
Furthermore, they engage in sexual activities out of intimidation and fear. These have a negative
psychological impact that remains unaddressed.
Conclusion: To confront this situation, governments must use a multifaceted strategy that combines
knowledge, self-determination, and instruction. The only way to stop abuse against women is through
women's empowerment. |
