520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Despite a nearly balanced gender ratio and the perception of higher autonomy among Assamese women, the state has witnessed a disturbing rise in spousal violence, surpassing national averages. This article investigates the evolving trends and determinants of spousal violence in Assam by analysing data from the National Family Health Survey-4 (2015–16) and NFHS-5 (2019–21) rounds. There is an urgent need for a multi-sectoral policy response through community engagement, institutional accountability, legal reforms, and expansion of helpline and counselling services.-Reproduced
