This indicator reflects the proportion of women aged 15-49 who believe that it is acceptable for a wife to deny sexual relations with her husband following childbirth. This perspective can be indicative of broader societal attitudes towards women's rights, bodily autonomy, and the understanding of postpartum recovery. High percentages in this regard may suggest a
supportive environment for maternal health and recognition of a woman's needs during a vulnerable period. Conversely, lower percentages could highlight cultural norms that emphasize marital obligations over women's health considerations. Analyzing this indicator can provide valuable insights into gender dynamics, health education efficacy, and the overall empowerment of women within different communities.
