Why Are Indian Housewives Committing Suicide?

Do you know that there are several reports that are published by our government or under our governments name for many things. Things like, Economical depression, unemployment, and death as well. Death can be of many types but one that gets everyone quite concerned, or shivers someone up or brings shame to their homes "according to the society" is Suicide. This is something people do not want to talk about. Students, people who are employed or housewives are the top population that commits a suicide. Today we will talk about our home makers. 

The three main reasons why an Indian housewife commits a suicide are as follows:

  1. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE :

It is quite acceptable in some communities or if we talk in a broader sense it is acceptable in some states that beating your wife, if she does not provide you food or doesn't take care of your child is absolutely okay. Domestic violence is been there since ages, and even today we have not been able to change the mind set of people about how wrong this practice is. Its just not about the beating as such but many women are killed by their own husbands because of rage and if asked the reason, they have nothing more to say than their dignity.  

    2. DOWRY

The concept of dowry was introduced in our society to safeguard the bride when she goes to her husbands house. It was kind of an economical help from her parents if ever she would need it. But now a days dowry is a demand, it is an offer that people make even before seeing the bride. Is this what our culture is? Most of the cases of dowry pressure are not reported by the girl or her parents as many of the time the parents are the one's who give dowry in the very first place despite the fact that it is a crime and now they cannot report about it as they know they will be punished as well. 

      3. ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY

In our society we tend to let our daughters get educated because what would she do anyways. But once she has completed her education she is married off so that the parents wont have the burden any more. This is one main reason that women have to be economically dependent on their husbands. This dependency makes it necessary for them to work in the house, satisfy their husbands and make him and his family happy. Because that is what she is for. Many of the times women are not even able to get the kind of help thy could have because it requires money, and she cannot ask for it to her husband because according to him she is just play pretending that she is sick. This is a sad truth in our society, but as soon as we start accepting it we will start getting some result, some good results indeed. 

These are the three main issues or reasons why Indian housewives are trying to kill themselves and most of them are successful too. As a part of this society it is somewhere our job to let these women know that they are not alone, we can do this by providing them with some legal information about how they can help themselves get out of this situation and try to live a better life. We can also help them in psychological terms where we can provide them with support or take them to a professional to get some help. Saving one life can definitely be more than one like.

Thankyou🌼
