Kerala Teen Dies by Suicide Before Wedding

18-Year-Old Woman Dies by Suicide in Malappuram, Kerala, a Day Before Wedding

An 18-year-old woman, Shaima Sinivar, tragically ended her life in Kerala’s Malappuram district just a day before her wedding. This heartbreaking incident follows another recent suicide in the same district, raising concerns about the pressures faced by young women.

Unrequited Love and Family Pressure Lead to Tragedy

Shaima was reportedly in love with her 19-year-old neighbour, Sajeer. She had expressed her desire to marry him to her family. However, her family disapproved of the relationship and arranged her marriage with someone else. The engagement took place just a week before the scheduled wedding. Overwhelmed by the situation, Shaima took her own life on the terrace of her uncle’s house, where she had been living since her father’s death. The news of her suicide has left the community in shock.

Neighbour Attempts Suicide Following the Tragedy

Devastated by Shaima’s death, Sajeer, her neighbour and the man she loved, attempted suicide by slitting his wrist. He was rushed to the medical college in Manjeri. Latest updates indicate that he is now out of danger. This adds another layer of tragedy to an already heartbreaking situation.

Police Investigation Underway

Police have registered a case of unnatural death and have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding Shaima’s suicide. This latest incident comes just days after another suicide case in Malappuram district involving a 25-year-old woman named Vishnuja. Her husband was arrested following allegations of mental and physical torture by her family. This series of tragic events has brought the issue of women’s safety and mental well-being into sharp focus.
