Introduction: When Covid-19 cases soar, physical distancing is enforced. The potential increase in domestic violence occurs in the movement of individuals and persons who are restricted and persons confined to their households, where the victim is trapped with the violent perpetrator. This study was administered to describe domestic violence types experienced by married women living in urban slum areas in Bandung, Indonesia, and to assess the causes. Methods: 300 married women who lived in urban areas in Bandung, Indonesia, were selected as the study samples using purposive sampling technique. This study employed cross-sectional design using structured interviews. The analysis of this study used Multivariate Logistics Regression test using STATA version 16. Results: 78.3% of married women have experienced domestic violence emotionally, physically, and sexually. The most common emotional violence is husbands always trying to find out where their wives are when they are out of the house (58.0%), while the most common sexual violence is forcing sexual intercourse when wife is not interested (11%). Factors causing domestic violence include family income (p-value: 0.006; OR:0.41) and husband alcohol consumption habits (p-value: 0.050; OR: 0.14). Conclusion: The negative impacts of women who have received domestic violence include mental, physical and female reproductive health. Comprehensive health services for women victims of violence need to be improved in all sectors, both government and non-government.
