Domestic abuse is a serious problem for married women in India (IPV). It is vital that women take use of accessible healthcare services if we want to lower the maternal death rate. Indian women's physical encounter with rape is examined in eight Empowered Action Group (EAG) states. For women living in EAG states, the rate of physical IPV is expected to be greater than in non-EAG states. The 2005-2006 India National Family Health Survey includes 65,587 women (NFHS-3). According to a logistic model, living in an EAG state lowers your risk of experiencing physical IPV in the last year. This is not what we expected. The best way to deal with domestic abuse is still up for debate among medical professionals. This article describes a review of qualitative research that aims to address the following two questions: How do women who have experienced domestic violence rate the treatment they get from medical professionals? Second, what do women who have been abused by their spouses seek from their healthcare providers in response to their disclosures?
