Abstract
This paper analyses intimate partner violence in Turkey which faces an enormous increase in femicide cases over the last decade. Analyzing a very rich nationwide representative survey, we show that relative status of women in terms of income and education affect different types of domestic violence, ranging from emotional abuse to physical and sexual violence. Besides, factors related to marriage setting have a significant role in the effect of women’s superior status on intimate partner violence. Overall, we provide evidence to support the relative resource theory and invalidate the intra-household bargaining model in the Turkish case.
