The rate of suicide deaths among Indian women needs attention. According to a WHO data of 2015, India comes second for its female suicide rate of 17.9 deaths per 100,000 people. An article published in Indian Journal of Psychiatry blamed high expectations on women to get married and stay married, for suicides. The pressure is responsible for driving many off the edge.
