Women’s age at the time of marriage is perceived to be at risk of experiencing domestic violence. Violence varies with age at marriage; women married at youngest age report most violence in past twelve months. Violence and abuse are continuous and usually intensifying. Violence may often commence with furious words, a shove or a slap. With frequent occurrence, of a paradigm of abuses established in a relationship ultimately result in permanent injury or even death. Domestic and an elder abuse have no boundaries and affect all ethnic, demographic and geographic groups. Violence that women experiences to a certain extent varies between age groups. Causatum revealed that the victim were being physically abused, slapped /pushed by their spouses all of the time and they were in the age group of 40 & above years. Whereas the victims in the age group of 21-30 years either were being slapped or pushed, so age in physical abuse has a pivotal role to play
