To consider death by suicide, as a method to escape their problems, is accepting defeat. Before embarking on the journey of marriage, one envisions the best of life and has a lot of hope for their future life. However, demands of dowry and domestic abuse by the husband can cut such visions short. Suicidal deaths among women especially married women have been increasing in Indian society. Various cultural, religious, and social values have a major role to play. In our study, we analyzed suicidal deaths in married women and tried to find the socio-demographic findings that have led these women to commit suicide. The autopsies were conducted from January 2014 to July 2015 at Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangalore. The highest incidence of suicide was found in the age group of 26-32 years, who were homemakers and within seven years of marriage. In a maximum of cases, abuse for dowry or other reasons was quoted as the reason to commit suicide. We also found that most of the decedents choose to hang themselves to commit suicide followed by the consumption of poison.
将自杀视为逃避问题的一种方式，就是接受失败。在踏上婚姻之旅前，人们憧憬着美好的生活，对未来的生活充满诸多希望。然而，嫁妆的要求以及丈夫的家庭暴力会使这些憧憬戛然而止。在印度社会，女性尤其是已婚女性的自杀死亡人数一直在增加。各种文化、宗教和社会价值观都起到了重要作用。在我们的研究中，我们分析了已婚女性的自杀死亡情况，并试图找出导致这些女性自杀的社会人口学特征。尸检于2014年1月至2015年7月在班加罗尔的肯佩高瓦达医学科学研究所进行。自杀发生率最高的是年龄在26 - 32岁的家庭主妇，且结婚不满七年。在大多数案例中，因嫁妆或其他原因遭受虐待被列为自杀原因。我们还发现，大多数死者选择上吊自杀，其次是服毒自杀。
