Intimate partner violence is defined as the intentional use of physical force or power against a woman in a relationship that leads to hurt, psychological harm, or death. The present study aims to identify the mediation role of a partner’s depression, alcohol consumption, and household food insecurity on women’s experience to intimate partner violence (IPV) physically. To fulfill the study objective, a community (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled tribe)-based cross-sectional survey was (n = 560) conducted in rural counterparts of Dakshin Dinajpur district, West Bengal, India. The result revealed that a household’s food insecurity and partner’s depression are not directly associated with women’s experience of intimate partner violence physically while the partner’s alcohol consumption behavior directly and significantly (standardized β: 0.31; 95% CI: 0.24–0.35; P < 0.001) associated with women’s experience to intimate partner violence physically. Moreover, household food insecurity (standardized β: 0.05; P < 0.001), poverty (standardized β: 0.05; P < 0.001), and partner’s depression (standardized β: 0.06; P < 0.001) are indirectly (mediated by partner’s alcohol consumption behavior) and significantly associated with women’s experience to IPV physically. Besides that household poverty, food insecurity and the partner’s depression had a direct implication on the partner’s alcohol consumption behavior. In short, alcohol consumption acts as a trigger for intimate partner violence. Rural parts of Dakshin Dinajpur district require a public awareness campaign to combat domestic violence, which should be spearheaded by state governments and civic societies. The increasing precariousness of domestic violence must be made known to the public and passersby. In addition to all this, the government must pay attention to how the people of rural areas can be improved economically.

亲密伴侣暴力被定义为在关系中故意对女性使用体力或权力，导致伤害、心理伤害或死亡。本研究旨在确定伴侣抑郁、饮酒和家庭粮食不安全对女性遭受亲密伴侣身体暴力 (IPV) 的经历的中介作用。为了实现研究目标， 在印度西孟加拉邦 Dakshin Dinajpur 地区的农村地区进行了一项基于社区（在册种姓和在册部落）的横断面调查（n = 560）。结果显示，家庭粮食不安全和伴侣抑郁与女性遭受亲密伴侣身体暴力的经历没有直接关系，而伴侣的饮酒行为则直接且显着相关（标准化β：0.31；95% CI：0.24–0.35；P  < 0.001）与女性遭受亲密伴侣身体暴力的经历有关。此外，家庭粮食不安全（标准化β：0.05；P  <0.001）、贫困（标准化β：0.05；P  <0.001）和伴侣抑郁（标准化β：0.06；P  <0.001）是间接的（由伴侣的饮酒行为介导） ）并且与女性对 IPV 的身体体验显着相关。除此之外，家庭贫困、粮食不安全和伴侣的抑郁症也直接影响伴侣的饮酒行为。简而言之，饮酒会引发亲密伴侣暴力。达克辛迪纳杰布尔县的农村地区需要开展公众意识运动来打击家庭暴力，这应该由州政府和民间社会带头。家庭暴力的危险性日益增加，必须让公众和路人了解。除此之外，政府还必须关注如何改善农村地区人民的经济状况。
