Independent variables: socio-demographic variables, attitude toward gender equity, parent's response to mistakes, mental health and some marital issues. Results: Among ever married males, 77.1% accepted GBV, 82.2% whom wives age at marriage was less than 18 years, 81.8% from rural residence, 88.4% whom parents were not giving any response to mistakes, 83.9% of those with positive attitude toward divorcing their wives accepted GBV with statistically significant difference. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant predictors for accepting GBV were: rural residence, attitude that makes husbands divorce their wives and parents' response to mistakes. Conclusion: The significant correlates of married men's acceptance of GBV were rural residence, respondents with an attitude toward divorcing their wives and inappropriate parents' response to mistakes. Recommendations: Development of intervention programs aiming to change social and cultural gender norms related to gender inequality and GBV especially in rural areas is highly recommended.

The survey indicated that around 50% of male adolescents with no education or only primary school education justified wife beating, while the rate of that for sample with secondary school education or higher was much lower except in India.…”
