Reports from the local community in Kandahar Province have brought to light the heartbreaking suicide of a young woman in the region. This incident took place on Monday, March 18th, in Sopanzoy village in the Arghistan district of Kandahar Province.

According to sources, the 25-year-old woman was coerced by her elderly father to marry an elderly man with white hair, approximately 75 years old, instead of marrying a young man of her choice. The father of this young woman sought to marry the young daughter of that elderly man in exchange for his daughter’s marriage. Faced with this forced marriage, the young woman tragically took her own life.

The primary motive behind her suicide has been attributed to the forced marriage imposed upon her.

Key factors contributing to such suicides in the country include poverty, domestic violence, underage marriages, and forced marriages.
