Zan News: Local sources report that three young women in Faryab and Helmand provinces have committed suicide in the past 24 hours due to domestic violence.

On Monday (November 4), sources stated that in the first incident, an 18-year-old girl named Arifa ended her life by hanging herself in the village of Takht Zaghan in Pashtun Kot district, Faryab.

According to sources, Arifa was married and took this action in her father’s home.

In another incident, Gulafzar, a 22-year-old married woman in village of Qala Shahans in Garziwan district, Faryab, ended her life by ingesting poison.

Additionally, it has been reported that a 24-year-old woman in Marja district, Helmand, also committed suicide during this period.

Sources attribute all three incidents to domestic violence.

The Taliban have yet to comment on these incidents.

Since the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, cases of domestic violence have increased, and the suicide rate among young girls has reached a worrying level.
