Why married girls commit suicide?
Married girls are subject to the same kinds of problems which cause various other types of people to commit suicide; there is no unique problem associated with this particular demographic. We might hypothesize that married girls are driven to suicide by their cruel husbands, but the more likely outcome of an unhappy marriage is divorce, not suicide. Problems which can lead to suicide include clinical depression or bipolar disorder, terminal illness, or a profound sense of failure and hopelessness.
Are men or women more likely to commit suicide?
Suicidal tendencies actually have very little to do with gender. Our suicidal tendencies are actually culturally developed. In the western world for example, men are more likely to commit suicide because they are led to be independent and usually have access to the tools to do so (guns, construction equipment, etc). Women on the other hand usually have a group of support and rarely have access to the tools. In the middle-east, suicide rates are highest amongst women. This is usually due to the fact that women are oppressed and forced to live a life they don't want. They see suicide as their only means of escape. In Asia, both men and women are equally likely to commit suicide. Asians are very hard working and have very little periods of rest, which leads to mental exhaustion, depression then suicide. So the answer to your question depends massively on the country or culture that you are referring to.
