A high proportion of pregnant women experienced domestic violence during their pregnancy. Being a housewife, poor income status, partners' use of alcohol, unwanted pregnancy, and disobeying of the women to their partner were factors associated with domestic violence during pregnancy. Evidence based female empowerment, especially the empowerment of women without income of their own, partner education and positive relations between partners are very important to minimize the problem.
