TL;DR: A clash of traditional and modern ideas and practices is occurring in Nepal, influencing newly married women's household status and relationship quality, and potentially impacting women’s health.
Abstract: Marriage is a point of change in young people's lives, especially in parts of the world that place high value on it, such as in South Asian countries including Nepal. However, marriage practices are changing, with a move towards more love marriage; this is likely to have important implications on women's status and agency, household and couple dynamics, and mental and physical health. The aim of this paper is to describe how changing marriage formation patterns and traditional practices such as co-residence and dowry are intersecting and impacting relationships post-marriage. In-depth qualitative interviews took place with 20 intact triads of newly married women, their husbands and their mothers-in-law, in one district of Nepal in 2017. Many marriages remain arranged; however, couples often talk or meet before marriage and feel that they are able to build a foundation of love before marrying. Access to technology facilitates this practice, although some couples are reluctant to admit their communication, suggesting stigma about this practice. Husbands have growing ambivalence about dowry, leading to confusion and negatively impacting on relationships post-marriage. A clash of traditional and modern ideas and practices is occurring in Nepal, influencing newly married women's household status and relationship quality, and potentially impacting women's health.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how young women's nature of occupation affects the domestic violence experienced by them and found that women in agricultural/non-agricultural labor activities have significantly higher chances of experiencing domestic violence compared to women who are either housewives or unemployed, and women whose mothers have experienced domestic violence are at a substantially higher risk of experiencing the same.
Abstract: Using a sub-nationally representative survey, we examine how young women’s nature of occupation affects the domestic violence experienced by them. We find that women in agricultural/non-agricultural labor activities have significantly higher chances of experiencing domestic violence compared to women who are either housewives or unemployed. Also, women whose mothers have experienced domestic violence are at a substantially higher risk of experiencing the same. Further, women belonging to weaker social sections have significantly higher odds of experiencing domestic violence compared to those belonging to “Upper” caste category. Moreover, the odds of experience of domestic violence reduces significantly with the increase in years of education. Surprisingly, women who opted for love marriage and women from the economically-demographically advanced states of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have significantly higher chances of facing domestic violence compared to those choosing arranged marriage and those from relatively poorer states such as Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand, respectively.
