Abstract
Experiencing domestic violence is considered a chronic and stressful life event. A theoretical framework of coping strategies can be used to understand how women deal with domestic violence. The researchers analyzed 151 cases in rural area based on this issue. The researcher focused on Emotional abuse and physical violence. Which are the main part of domestic violence and its major coping strategies implemented by rural married women. From the study it is concluded that, Women should be brought up independently from their childhood. They should not be discriminated on any basis. At the same time, Boys should also be taught about mutual respect and other values. Proper counseling and awareness programs should be given in order to bring gender equality in the society.
