Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Fred Arnold:
The NFHS-5 sample was designed to provide information on sexual behaviour; HIV/AIDS, knowledge, attitudes and behaviour; life-style indicators; other health issues; and domestic violence only at the state level and the national level, while most other indicators are reported at the district level. Households that were not selected for the state module skip the section on domestic violence. In accordance with international ethics on confidentiality, only one woman in the eligible age group in a household can be selected for the domestic violence module. This is required to make sure that nobody else in the household even knows that these questions on domestic violence are being asked. If there is more than one woman in the household in the eligible age range (age 18-49) for the domestic violence module, only one woman in that household is randomly selected to be asked the questions on domestic violence.
Table 15.1 in the NFHS-5 national report shows that there are 72,056 women age 18-49 who were eligible for the domestic violence section. If you find more than that number of women who answered the DV questions, if they do not have a DV weight, you can leave them out of your analysis.
