<p>In India, nearly one-fourth of women aged 20–24 were married before age 18 and around 24% have been subjected to spousal violence. This study aims to examine the association between child marriage and spousal violence among young women in India. The study uses secondary large-scale data from NFHS-5, India. Descriptive statistics were used to provide estimates of different forms of spousal violence experienced by young women categorized according to their socio-demographic characteristics. Both adjusted and unadjusted logistic regression models were used to examine the association between early marriage and spousal violence along with selected socio-demographic characteristics. The results revealed that women aged 18–24, married before 18 years (30.1%), are more exposed to spousal violence than women married 18 and above years (19.4%). The result shows that spousal violence is found to be high in Karnataka (37.6%), Bihar (29.8%), and Uttar Pradesh (29.2%). The study finds that child marriage (AOR = 1.15, 95% CI:1.01–1.31) is significantly associated with spousal violence. Higher educated (AOR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.57–0.98) and richest women have the lowest odds of spousal violence. Working women of Central, Eastern, North-eastern, and Southern regions have more children and are significantly more prone to spousal violence than others. Women who take more household decisions are at lower risk of experiencing spousal violence. Women whose husbands exhibit more controlling behaviours are significantly more likely to experience spousal violence than their counterparts. To curb spousal violence in India, there is a need to abolish early marriage, promote education, empower women, and improve their economic status.</p>
