The researchers collected data by a questionnaire about physical, sexual, economic and verbal-mental violence.<br> <strong><em>Results</em></strong><strong>:</strong> The rate of physical, sexual and economic violence among women with addicted husbands was 92.3% (36 women), 79.5% (31women) and 76.9% (30 women) respectively. This rate among women with non-addicted was 88.9% (232 women), 71.6% (187women) and 88.9% (232 women). The rate of physical (P=0.042) and economic violence (P= 0.036) against women with addicted husbands was higher. However, there wasn&rsquo;t a significant relationship between husbands&rsquo; addiction and sexual violence.<br> <strong><em>Conclusion</em></strong><strong>:</strong> Considering the results, it is necessary to make effort to prevent addiction through careful pre-marriage tests and eliminate factors which cause addiction such as poverty and unemployment.<br> &nbsp; Family violence, Wives, Addicted, Non-addicted, Husbands 128 119 http://ijrabms.umsu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-68-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Nader Aghakhani naderaghakhani2000@gmail.com 1003194753284600477 1003194753284600477 Yes Associate professor, Patient Safety Research Center, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran Zahra erghati naderaghakhani2000@gmail.com 1003194753284600478 1003194753284600478 No Department of Nursing Vahid Merghati naderaghakhani2000@gmail.com 1003194753284600479 1003194753284600479 No Department of English Language Teaching Hassan Nazari h.nazari4@gmail.com 1003194753284600480 1003194753284600480 No Research vice chancellery Gholamreza Esmhoseini naderaghakhani2000@gmail.com 1003194753284600481 1003194753284600481 No Department of Midwifery in Zanjan University of Medical Sciences Abbas Zarei naderaghakhani2000@gmail.com 1003194753284600482 1003194753284600482 No Department of Nursing Mohammad Delirrad naderaghakhani2000@gmail.com 1003194753284600483 1003194753284600483 No Department of Infectious Diseases Keyvan Hoseingholipour 1003194753284600484 1003194753284600484 No MSc, Patient Safety Research Center, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran Rasoul Roshani 1003194753284600485 1003194753284600485 No MD, Forensic Medicine Organization, Urmia, Iran
