    The prime objective of the study was to examine the aggression and its types among wives of poly drug addicts and non-drug addicts in comparison to each other. That comparative study was done in Faisalabad city and, for that purpose, total hundred women including fifty (n = 50) wives of poly drug addicts were selected from drug treatment hospitals using convenient sampling. While fifty (n= 50) wives of non- drug addicts were selected using snowball sampling from general population.

SPSS version 25.0 was used to compute the descriptive statistics, normality test, independent samples t-test and regression analysis on the present research data. Statistical analysis has depicted that wives of ploy drug addicts reported more aggression (t = 16.34, df = 98 , p = 0.000), physical aggression (t = 14.88 , df = 98, p = 0.000), verbal aggression (t = 6.53 , df = 98 , p =0.000), anger (t = 10.44 , df = 98, p =0.000) and hostility (t = 13.22, df = 98, p = 0.000) than wives of non-drug addicts.
