Abstract
Domestic Violence against Women and Alcoholism are two dominant social issues particularly in rural and backward classes of India. Researchers have found coexistence of these two issues in rural society and number of studies have been carried out to find linkages between domestic violence against women and alcoholism of batterer.Both these issues are closely associated in the public mind. Many people believe that alcohol abuse is a primary reason for women’s battering. Others think that alcohol abuse may increase the risk for intimate partner violence, but is not a direct cause of intimate partner violence. Still others believe alcohol abuse and intimate partner violence are separate issues, which only appear to be correlated due to other factors.
