Little is known about the timing of IPV onset and predictors of early IPV onset in marriage; understanding is crucial for the development and timing of primary prevention interventions. Hence, the present study explores IPV onset and predictors of early IPV onset (i.e., occurring within 2\u2009years of marriage) in India using data from the 2019-21 National Family Health Survey. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify sociodemographic and behavioral predictors of early IPV onset. Results indicate that 29% of married women aged 18 to 49\u2009years have experienced physical or sexual IPV. IPV onset averages 3.30\u2009years (SD: 3.94) post-marriage, with sexual violence (Mean: 3.17\u2009years, SD: 4.22) initiating slightly earlier than physical violence (Mean: 3.32\u2009years, SD: 3.94). Approximately 90% of IPV onset begins within the first 7 years of marriage, with half (around 50%) occurring within 3 years. In multivariable regression, urbanicity, age, marital age and duration, religion, region of residence, and husband\u2019s use of control were each associated with earlier IPV onset. Findings emphasize the urgent need for early intervention and inform populations and regions in which primary prevention should be prioritized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605251392272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]],"date-time":"2025-11-26T06:08:56Z","timestamp":1764137336000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Predictors of Early Marital Intimate Partner Violence Onset in India"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9477-3498","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahadev","family":"Bhise","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics &amp; Socio Behavioural Research, ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive and Child Health, Mumbai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ameeta Shivdas","family":"Kalokhe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University Rollins School of Public Health, Global Health, Atlanta, GA, USA"},{"name":"Emory University School of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Atlanta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shahina","family":"Begum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics &amp; Socio Behavioural Research, ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive and Child Health, Mumbai, India"},{"name":"Faculty of Medical Research, Academy of Scientific Innovation and Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7972-6725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ranjan Kumar","family":"Prusty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics &amp; Socio Behavioural Research, ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive and Child Health, Mumbai, India"},{"name":"Faculty of Medical Research, Academy of Scientific Innovation and Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abramsky T.
