Husband-perpetrated rape (HPR), which implies every form of unwilling sex with a husband as a result of force, threat or drug, is rarely discussed or reported, and it has been quite understudied in Nigeria. Hence, this study answers two questions: What is the incidence of HPR, and what are the correlates among currently married women in Nigeria? Descriptive and multi-level logistic regression tools are used to analyze data from a sub-sample of 1,583 currently married women (16 years and above) surveyed in a larger survey conducted in mid-2022. The results suggest that the national incidence rate of HPR among currently married women in Nigeria is 20%. Although any married woman could experience HPR anywhere, the main correlates that are likely to elevate the risk in Nigeria are childhood sexual abuse experience ( OR = 3.9, p < .001, 95% CI [2.9, 5.2]), membership in Yoruba ethnic group ( OR = 2.7, p < .001, [1.7, 4.3]), and having husbands who smoke ( OR = 2.4, p < .001, [1.7, 3.4]). Other minor risk factors are minority ethnic groups membership ( OR = 2.1, p < .01, [1.4, 3.3]), husband’s substance use ( OR = 1.7, p < .001, [1.3, 2.2]), childhood family situation wherein parents separated/divorced ( OR = 1.8, p < .01, [1.3, 2.6]) and membership of the Igbo ethnic group ( OR = 1.7, p < .05, [1.1, 2.8]). Therefore, to reduce HPR experience in Nigeria, appropriate organs should design and implement an invigorated child protection law targeting childhood sexual abuse reduction. An aggressive campaign against smoking and substance consumption among married men is also imperative. Also, a sustained campaign against HPR using multiple media all over Nigeria is crucial.

尼日利亚当前已婚妇女丈夫实施的强奸的发生率和相关性


丈夫实施的强奸 （HPR） 是指由于武力、威胁或药物而与丈夫发生各种形式的不情愿的性行为，很少被讨论或报道，而且在尼日利亚，它的研究也相当不足。因此，本研究回答了两个问题：HPR 的发病率是多少，尼日利亚目前已婚女性之间的相关性是什么？描述性和多级逻辑回归工具用于分析在 2022 年年中进行的一项更大规模调查中调查的 1,583 名目前已婚女性（16 岁及以上）的子样本的数据。结果表明，尼日利亚目前已婚妇女的 HPR 全国发病率为 20%。尽管任何已婚妇女都可能在任何地方经历 HPR，但在尼日利亚可能增加风险的主要相关性是童年性虐待经历（OR = 3.9，p < .001,95% CI [2.9,5.2]），约鲁巴族群的成员身份（OR = 2.7，p < .001，[1.7,4.3]），以及丈夫吸烟（OR = 2.4，p < .001， [1.7, 3.4]).其他次要危险因素是少数民族成员身份 （ OR = 2.1， p < .01， [1.4， 3.3]）、丈夫的物质使用（ OR = 1.7， p < .001， [1.3， 2.2]）、父母分居/离婚的童年家庭情况 （ OR = 1.8， p < .01， [1.3， 2.6]） 和伊博族群的成员身份 （ OR = 1.7， p < .05， [1.1， 2.8]）。因此，为了减少尼日利亚的 HPR 体验，适当的机构应该制定和实施一项针对减少儿童性虐待的充满活力的儿童保护法。在已婚男性中积极反对吸烟和药物消费的运动也势在必行。此外，在尼日利亚各地使用多种媒体开展持续的反对 HPR 的运动也至关重要。
