While remarriage is one of the only options for survival for divorced women, especially those from low socioeconomic status, remarriage also brings with it increased stressors of financial strain and the strain of blended families. This study tested the hypothesis that remarried women compared with first-time married and divorced women are at increased risk for domestic violence. The sample was drawn from the Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey, consisting of 1,560 women with the average age of 31.64. Results showed that 20% of women reported emotional violence and 14%, physical violence. Based on hierarchical multiple regressions, this study found that remarried women were more likely to experience physical and emotional abuse than women in their first marriage or women who remain divorced\/not in union. Further interaction analyses showed that domestic violence varies depending on place of residence, number of children younger than 5 years, partners\u2019 education, and wealth index. Rural residents who were in poorest and poorer groups and urban residents in their poorer and middle groups of their wealth index showed high risk of domestic violence. Remarried women with two or three children younger than 5 years showed highest risk of domestic violence. Additional three-way interaction analysis revealed that remarried women residing in rural\/urban areas with a spouse having no education and\/or primary level of education were at highest risk of domestic violence. The study lends support to the structural role of the power of male dominance on women\u2019s social and emotional well-being. This study suggested that to reduce men\u2019s perceived domination, structural intervention that includes implementing gender-responsive curriculum in formal education, as well as strengthening domestic violence law enforcement would help reduce domestic violence against women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260517691520","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,8]],"date-time":"2017-02-08T23:44:49Z","timestamp":1486597489000},"page":"828-853","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Cambodian Remarried Women Are at Risk for Domestic Violence"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Sothy","family":"Eng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Whitney","family":"Szmodis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelly","family":"Grace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260517691520","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/584021"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260517691520","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geoforum.2012.12.005"},{"key":"bibr3-0886260517691520","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/146499340901000204"},{"key":"bibr4-0886260517691520","unstructured":"Brickell K., Prak B., Poch B.
