Objective: To investigate the association of women's exposure to marital violence with their child disciplinary actions in the 2005 EDHS. Methods: A sub?sample of 5249 currently? married women were investigated for ever and the 12 months prior to survey exposure to physical and sexual violence by their current husbands, and its association with their child disciplinary actions specifically hitting or slapping the child on the body and/or the face to address child behavior problem adjusting for the effect of respondents' age, education, work, residence, wealth index, number of children ever borne, and empowerment in household decisions . Results: Around 29.4% and 5.2% of the studied women have been ever exposed to physical and sexual violence by their current husbands; of them 60% and 65.7% have been subjected to it the 12 months prior to the survey respectively. Around 70% of women were slapping or hitting their children aged 3?17 years on their body or face as an action to address behavior problems the month prior to the survey. Around 40 % of women were slapping their children on face, head, or ears. Logistic regression models showed that exposure to marital violence predicted hitting or slapping the child on the body and/or the face to address behavior problems the month prior to the survey adjusted to other confounders.Conclusion: Marital Violence is significantly associated with child maltreatment. The study highlights the need for effective screening and identification of marital violence in families in which child maltreatment has occurred and vice versa.
