A 29-year-old man has been detained in the Yavan district of Tajikistan on suspicion of driving his wife to attempt suicide, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic reported.
According to the investigation, in 2019, the suspect married a 26-year-old resident of the Yavan district. During their life together, conflicts arose between the spouses on numerous occasions. The man regularly quarreled with his wife, insulted her in the presence of relatives, and humiliated her.
On April 15, 2025, while at home, he beat his wife in another conflict. Tired of constant humiliation and beatings, the woman tried to commit suicide that same day by drinking a vinegar solution. The man's relatives learned about what had happened and promptly took the victim to the hospital, where she received the necessary medical care.
A criminal case has been opened against the detainee under Part 2 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan ("Incitement to suicide"). Investigative actions are ongoing.
