Note: Because the NCVS reflects a respondent's marital status at the
time of the incident, it is not possible to determine whether a person
was separated or divorced at the time of the interview or whether
the separation or divorce followed the violence. Information about nonfatal intimate partner victimization of women who were widowed are provided as average annual estimates because the small number of cases is insufficient for reliable estimates. |
