Abstract Domestic violence is a significant public health issue that often accompanies substance abuse, particularly in cases of alcohol dependence. This study aims to explore the socio-demographic characteristics of wives affected by domestic violence in households with alcoholic dependence syndrome. By examining the intersection of alcohol dependence and domestic violence, we aim to highlight the experiences and challenges faced by these women. In the present study, using a non-probability Consecutive sampling technique, the researcher adopted a non-experimental descriptive research design with 33 samples. The tools include Socio-Demographic Data and the Domestic Violence Severity Assessment Tool (DVSAT). The study reveals concerning domestic violence risks among wives of individuals with alcohol dependence, with 69.7% facing moderate and 30.3% experiencing high risks. Respondents predominantly fall within the 26-35 and 46-55 age groups, with 48.5% identifying as a particular religion. Economic hardship is evident, with 60.6% earning ≤ Rs 500. Additionally, 54.5% report high stress levels, while 69.7% benefit from good social support, highlighting the complex interplay of demographic factors influencing domestic violence risk. The Domestic Violence Severity Assessment Tool (DVSAT) effectively evaluates the severity of domestic violence experiences. Its strong scoring metrics and reliability enhance its utility in clinical and research settings, facilitating informed interventions and support for victims.
