Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 23-year-old newly married woman hanged herself to death in Bhopal after an argument with her husband on Wednesday.
The incident is of Bhopal's Chhola area. The woman’s family claims she was being harassed and mentally tortured by her husband since the marriage took place.
The woman, Bharti Kuchbandhiya, was married to Vishal Kuchbandhiya two months ago, on February 3. Her brother Rahul said that after marriage, Bharti's husband would often stay away from home for days, physically abuse her, and was in touch with another woman. He also refused to live peacefully with her, which caused Bharti a lot of stress.
On Tuesday, after another dispute at her in-laws' house, Bharti’s family brought her back to her mother’s home in Bhopal. That same night, when her mother had gone out for some work and no one else was home, Bharti took the extreme step and ended her life by hanging herself using a scarf.
