INDIAN ROMANCE IV

Another suicide case in New Delhi a 48-year-old housewife committed suicide by jumping off the eighth floor of a multi-storeyed apartment. The victim, Surinder Walia, has left behind a ''suicide note'' which reportedly mentions that she was depressed after her daughter's in-laws started demanding dowry and harassing her daughter immediately after the marriage. Walia's family said that their daughter Amrita got married to Gaurav Manchanda on April 28 this year. The suicide note stated that she was not happy with the way her daughter's life had turned out to be after marriage and that the in-laws were continuously taunting Amrita and were not satisfied with the gifts exchanged during the wedding. In the note, she asked her husband to take care of Amrita and their younger son, who is studying in class XII. She also requested her husband not to send the daughter back to her in-laws as ''they might make her life more miserable''. If the children so wanted, Walia should arrange for sending both the children abroad. Walia added, ''Surinder was a very strong woman and I can't believe that she took such a drastic step.

As I mentioned earlier : The divorce rate in India is one of the lowest of the world and Indian are proud about that. I assume the suicide rate of woman must be the worldwide highest too.
