Kasus kekerasan dan penyiksaan terhadap istri di dalam rumah tangga (domestic violence) merupakan kasus yang cukup lama bertahan dalam daftar prioritas masalah yang harus dihadapi oleh dunia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji secara mendalam dampak secara fisik dan psikologis yang dialami oleh istri setelah mendapat kekerasan dari suami dalam rumah tangga. Subjek penelitian ini adalah istri yang mendapat kekerasan dalam rumah tangga yang dilakukan oleh suami, yang terbagi dalam 40 orang responden mengisi angket dan 7 orang responden diwawancara mendalam dan di observasi. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa terjadi berbagai bentuk kekerasan fisik dan psikologis seperti dicekik, dikurung, dilempar dengan tempat pakaian, ditampar, dibenturkan kedinding, dilarang ke rumah orangtua, diusir dari rumah, marah-marah pada istri, dan dilarang ke pasar. Pada penelitian ini juga membuktikan reaksi istri terhadap kekerasan yang dialaminya adalah berharap suami mau berubah, ingin bercerai, menurut dengan kemauan suami, memaklumi dan memaafkan sikap suami. Kemudian berdasarkan data kuantitatif didapatkan hasil bahwa kekerasan memberikan dampak atau pengaruh terhadap terjadinya keluhan psikologis (somatisasi) dengan p = 0.045, akan tetapi kekerasan dalam rumah tangga tidak memberikan dampak atau pengaruh terhadap keluhan fisik dengan p = 0.155.
