Results: This study shows that 81% of the subjects have been subjected to physical violence and also to examine the variables and its relationship with physical violence against women. Economics is the cultural difference used to prove or disprove these assumptions using Pearson's correlation coefficient and analyzed using analysis of variance.

However, its validity was confirmed by the structural and formal content method and the reliability of the measurement was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha (0.851).
