India has reported a high prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) against women over the years. Previous Western research has found an increased IPV risk among women in the aftermath of natural disasters, underscoring the need for such studies in India. We could not locate any study focusing on the impact of slow-onset versus rapid-onset disasters, which might have differing impacts on the vulnerable, especially on the incidence of IPV in India. Using data on ever-married women from the National Family Health Survey-4 (2015–16), we investigated the association of residing in districts exposed to a drought (N = 31,045), and separately, to two cyclones (N = 8469), with three forms of self-reported IPV against women (emotional, physical, and sexual). Survey-adjusted logistic regression models showed that exposure to cyclone was positively associated with emotional IPV (AOR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.20, 2.10) after adjusting for sociodemographic covariates. Although not statistically significant, exposure to cyclone was also positively associated with physical and sexual IPV, and drought with physical IPV. However, we did not find an association of drought with emotional and sexual violence. We corroborated previous findings that women from wealthier households, with greater education, and whose husbands had no history of alcohol consumption, were less likely to experience any form of IPV independent of the influence of other factors. These results highlight the potential increased risk of IPV following natural disasters. In patriarchal societies such as India vulnerable to climate-change, these sobering results highlight the need to prepare for the social disasters that might accompany natural disasters.

多年来，印度报告称对女性的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）流行率很高。西方先前的研究发现，自然灾害后女性患IPV的风险增加，这突显了印度进行此类研究的必要性。我们找不到针对慢速灾害与快速发作灾难的影响的任何研究，这可能会对弱势群体，尤其是印度IPV的发病率产生不同的影响。利用《全国家庭健康调查-4》（2015-16）中已婚妇女的数据，我们调查了遭受干旱（N = 31,045）的地区与两个飓风（N = 8469）的关系，以及针对妇女的自我报告IPV的三种形式（情感，身体和性行为）。经调查调整的逻辑回归模型显示，在对社会人口统计学协变量进行调整后，气旋暴露与情绪IPV呈正相关（AOR：1.59、95％CI：1.20、2.10）。尽管没有统计学意义，但旋风的暴露也与身体和性IPV呈正相关，而干旱与身体IPV呈正相关。但是，我们没有发现干旱与情感暴力和性暴力有关。我们证实了先前的发现，即来自较富裕家庭，受过较高教育且其丈夫没有饮酒史的妇女较少受到任何形式的IPV的影响，而不受其他因素的影响。这些结果突显了自然灾害后IPV潜在增加的风险。在印度等易受气候变化影响的重男轻女社会，
