Kathmandu: A news report about a pregnant woman committing suicide has shocked the public in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, India. On the third day after giving birth, the woman took her own life by hanging herself in her own home.
After childbirth, the woman, aged 27, was afraid that her body wouldn’t return to normal as before. She decided to end her life, fearing that she would not be able to find employment after having a child. The conversation between the deceased woman and her husband on WhatsApp confirms this.
