China is at the top of the countries where the women kill themselves.
Traditional habits in China specially in the countryside, mean the suicide rate is high with women. In the village she can find poison and the women are acting impulsively.
Marriage in the countryside is like buying and selling a product. 70%-80% of the woman who commit suicide do so because of conflict between husband and wife, and if she asks for divorce she loses the financial support from her family. Some women think that the suicide will give a message to the husband, but the government passed laws to prevent it.
Some organizations help the women in the village by teaching them in schools.
Some woman work in the cities and most of them are in their 20's and many have been sexually abused by their boss in the work.
Main Idea
China has the biggest numbers of suicides by women because of the traditions and the buying and selling in marriage.
Comment
My opinion is that the government should solve this problem not only by putting laws.
It should establish social organizations that stand and support the women in the village.
