Background: Alcoholism poses a significant societal and medical issue, particularly in India, where approximately 62.5 million individuals consume alcohol (1). Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) often leads to severe interpersonal and social dysfunctions, particularly within marital relationships. Spouses of individuals with AUD commonly endure various forms of violence, resulting in psychological distress and psychiatric morbidities. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Psychiatry, Sri Aurobindo Medical College and Post Graduate Institute, Indore, from September 2022 to February 2024. It involved male patients diagnosed with AUD according to DSM-V criteria and their spouses, who were screened based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using a semi-structured proforma, the Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SAD-Q), and a Domestic Violence Questionnaire. Results: The study found that a significant proportion of spouses were aged 26-35 years (80% of the total population) and about 60 % of the total spouses were engaged in unskilled occupations. Also, 50 percent of husbands with AUD were aged 26-35 years and about 50 percent had been consuming alcohol for 20-25 years. The SAD-Q scores indicated that 50% of the participants had severe alcohol dependence. There was association observed between SAD-Q scores and the occurrence of domestic violence, with the highest incidence of domestic violence reported among individuals with severe alcohol dependence (SAD-Q score of 31-60). Conclusion: The study highlights association between alcohol use disorder in men and domestic violence against their spouses. The findings suggest a need for targeted interventions to address alcohol dependence and provide psychological support for affected spouses to reduce violence and improve family outcomes.
