Are Indian Men in Danger? | Jan Hith Mein Jaari w/ Kunal Kamra | 03

About this Video

Correction: It has come to my attention that an incorrect screenshot was presented alongside the claim at timecode 11:07 regarding the prevalence of men facing unprompted spousal violence. The claim I have made here is in fact correct and is based on a government data source. But the accompanying screenshot was mistakenly presented. This was a production error. The actual source is government data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS), which exactly states the following: “Four percent of ever-married women have ever initiated physical violence against their husbands when he was not already beating or physically hurting them.” The correct data source is available here: https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR375/FR375.pdf NFHS-4 Report, Section “15.8 VIOLENCE INITIATED BY WOMEN AGAINST HUSBANDS” on Page 647. While we appreciate the opportunity to correct this mistake, it does not undermine the argument presented. The figure of 52.4% men experiencing spousal violence in the screenshot shared includes both prompted and unprompted violence and also it comes from a localized study limited to rural Haryana. The NFHS data further clarifies: "Women who have experienced spousal violence are much more likely than women who have not experienced spousal violence to have ever initiated violence against their husband. Ten percent of women who have ever experienced spousal violence perpetrated such violence, compared with 1 percent who have never experienced such spousal violence." We sincerely apologize for the error and thank our viewers for their understanding.
