Financial violence has been the most common type of violence and physical violence with 29.66% has the lowest prevalence. The results also indicate that with a significant level of 5%, the increase in women's (r = 14) and men's (r = -11) education is an effective factor in reducing physical, financial and social violence. In addition, as the men's place of birth ranges from small rural areas to major cities, the level of violence (except for the financial violence) has fallen (r = -22). Women with a rural or small township are more under violence, and with the increase in the level of cultural development of the place of residence, the amount of violence in the financial (r=171), physical (r=13) and social (r =-15) dimensions is reduced.
