336 Suicides Among Women in 2025: Family Disputes and External Provocation Account for over 70% of Cases

This report analyzes data collected from 70 national and local newspapers and electronic media regarding suicides among women aged 19 and above in the year 2025. The data highlights a total of 336 reported cases, shedding light on the primary socio-domestic pressures that lead to such tragic outcomes.Primary Drivers: Family Instability and External InfluenceThe most significant finding of the report is that 71% of all suicides are linked to just two categories:Family Disputes: This is the leading cause, accounting for 40% (136 cases) of the total. This suggests that interpersonal conflict within the household remains the most critical risk factor for women’s mental health.Suicide Provoked by Others: The second largest category accounts for 31% (104 cases). This indicates a high prevalence of external psychological pressure or harassment that pushes individuals toward self-harm.Secondary Causes and ConcernsBeyond the leading causes, several other factors contribute to the statistics:Unknown Reasons: In 13% (43 cases), the specific motive for the suicide was not identified in media reports, highlighting a gap in investigative reporting or social transparency.Relationship and Domestic Issues: Love affairs accounted for 6% (19 cases), while suicides specifically attributed to domestic violence were reported at 2% (7 cases).Torture and In-law Disagreements: A combined 8% (26 cases) were attributed to torture by husbands/in-laws or disagreements with family members. While these numbers are lower than general "family disputes," they represent severe instances of abuse.
