You may be interested in the variable that IPUMS-DHS (available at idhsdata.org) named MARREL because there was no consistent name for the input variables:
https://www.idhsdata.org/idhs-action/variables/MARREL#codes_ section
Note that this variable does include Pakistan 2012, as well as 7 other samples.
If you are interested in the domestic violence variables, I strongly encourage you to check out at least the documentation on these variables on the IPUMS-DHS website.
Here, for example, you can see which samples include variables related to violence from the woman's husband or partner. An X means the variable is available in that sample.
https://www.idhsdata.org/idhs-action/variables/group?id=dv_d vh
If you click on the name of a variable, you can learn the codes and frequencies, question wording, universe (who answered the question), and comparability issues for each sample included in that variable. You can log in with your DHS user email and password and make a customized dataset with just the variables and samples you need for your research. While the standard variables in the original DHS files help enormously for many topics, less standardized modules (such as female genital cutting and domestic violence) can be hard to study with the original files, given so many and varying country-specific names.
I hope this is helpful.
