Background: Adolescent pregnancy leads to a variety of com-plex problems. Adolescents with an unwanted pregnancy poten-tially face a stigma or rejection by parents and friends as well as facing threats to be a victim of domestic violence. Violence experienced by pregnant adolescents has a negative impact on the health status of the mother and their fetus. This study aimed to identify the factors triggering domestic violence on pregnant adolescents in Jakarta. Design and Methods: The design of the study was cross-sec-tional study with convenience sampling (n=230). The tools used for data collection were questionnaires. Results: The results of the bivariate analysis showed that the factors associated with domestic violence suffered by pregnant adolescents were the partner’s violence history (p=0.000), part-ner’s behaviors (p=0.000), economic status (p=0.002) and fami-ly’s support (p=0.03). The partner’s behavior was the most influ-ential factor that contributed 73.96 times the potential occurrences of domestic violence against pregnant adolescents (p=0.000; OR=73.96). Conclusions: The involvement of the partner during the pregnancy process is necessary for understanding and comprehension of the changes, which may possibly occur due to the partner’s pregnancy. © the Author(s), 2021.
