Best Answer

People who are single, divorced or widowed are

2-3 times as likely to commit suicide as married people, especially

among men (Clayton, 1983; Murphy, 1983). For married women (esp.

ages 20 to 30), there is some evidence that they are more likely to

attempt suicide than single women (Shneidman & Farberow, 1970).

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.

Problems which can lead to suicide include clinical depression or bipolar disorder, terminal illness, or a profound sense of failure and hopelessness.
