This current study examined the association between WSM and different dimensions of AAWA in the context of socio-cultural differences among the Bengali, the Santal, and the Garo ethnic communities in rural Bangladesh. Adopting a cross-sectional design, 1,929 married men and women were randomly included in the study from 8 Bengali, 8 Santal, and 8 Garo villages where 50.2% were women and 49.8% were men. Of the sample, 33.2% Garo, 33.2% Santal, and 33.6% Bengali participants were included in this study. Data revealed that 45.5% of women had low social mobility and the prevalence of different dimensions of AAWA was high and varied among the study communities. We used descriptive statistics, chi-square, and binary logistic regression analysis to estimate the association. The multivariate binary logistic regression analysis results revealed that the likelihood of attitudinal acceptance of overall abuse, psychological abuse, physical abuse, abuse on disobeying family obligation, and abuse on challenging male authority were significantly lower for the respondents who belonged to families where women enjoyed high mobility compared to those who belonged to families where WSM was low. This study also showed that the Bengali and the Santal participants were more likely to accept different dimensions of AAWA compared to the Garos. This study suggests that WSM should be considered in policy-making and implementing interventions to reduce the different dimensions of AAWA in rural Bangladesh.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605231209994","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,8]],"date-time":"2023-11-08T07:24:34Z","timestamp":1699428274000},"page":"1676-1703","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Women\u2019s Social Mobility and Attitudinal Acceptance of Wife Abuse: A Cross-Sectional Study Among Bengali, Santal, and Garo Ethnic Communities in Rural Bangladesh"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2805-8397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hafijur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh"},{"name":"Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6293-7101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rabiul","family":"Karim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh"},{"name":"Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tanzima Zohra","family":"Habib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarina","family":"Swahnberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08862605231209994","author":"Asian Development Bank","year":"2019","journal-title":"Basic statistics 2019 statistics and data innovation Unit, Asian Development Bank"},{"key":"bibr2-08862605231209994","volume-title":"Report on violence against women (VAW) survey 2015","author":"Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics and Statistics and Informative Divisions","year":"2016"},{"key":"bibr3-08862605231209994","volume-title":"Bangladesh statistics-2019","author":"Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics and Statistics and Informative Divisions","year":"2020"},{"key":"bibr4-08862605231209994","volume-title":"The santals","author":"Banglapedia (The National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh)","year":"2012","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr5-08862605231209994","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11199-005-6761-4"},{"key":"bibr6-08862605231209994","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0187884"},{"key":"bibr7-08862605231209994","volume-title":"The strong women of Modhupur","author":"Burling R.","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr8-08862605231209994","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1163\/156853109X460200"},{"key":"bibr9-08862605231209994","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780195315493.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr10-08862605231209994","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcop.22551"},{"key":"bibr11-08862605231209994","volume-title":"Violence against wives: A case against the patriarchy","author":"Dobash R.
