Violence in the domestic sphere is usually inflicted by household members. It threatens health, wellbeing, rights and dignity of women. In this study, an attempt was made to assess the pattern of domestic violence against adolescent females and also to identify the influencing factors. A multistage cluster sampling technique was adopted to select the sample. For quantitative results, data on 3362 female adolescents (aged 10-19 years) from rural and urban areas were analyzed. To substantiate the quantitative results, a series of focus group discussions were carried out among the adolescents. Among the sample adolescents, the overall prevalence of domestic violence was 33.6 %: 31.5 % among married and 37.9 % among unmarried adolescents. Religion, joint family, family size, premarital sexual activity and income are important correlates of domestic violence.
