Both purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select sample women for the study. Tehsil D.G. Khan was taken as universe; ten villages from the selected tehsil were randomly selected. Fifteen (15) married women were purposively selected from each selected village, thus, making a total of 150 respondents. Data was then analyzed with the help of SPSS. Results of the study showed that 28.0, 24.0, 21.3 and 18.7%, of the respondents reported that they frequently faced verbal violence by their counterparts like threat to divorce, words of abuse, negative criticism, taunting and insulting their family members respectively. Respondents were frequently slapped (21.3%), kicked (18.7%) and punched (14.0%), by their intimate partners (physical violence). There existed positive relationship between education and violence (verbal & physical). The findings of present research study clearly indicated that level of education is helpful in reduc ing the intensity of different types of violence against women. The study area is already deprived of education, less for men and more for women, which results in unawareness of basic rights on the part of women. Therefore, it is suggested that Government and NGO's, both work together for the increase in level of education through formal and non-formal means.
