Wife Hangs Herself To SProtest Husband’s Postponement Of Shopping Trip
A distressed wife is reported to have hanged herself after her husband postponed a planned shopping trip by a single day.
The woman’s husband, Deepak Dwivedi, says he told his 23-year-old wife Deepika, on Saturday that he would not be able to go shopping on that day, according to reports.
But Mr. Dwivedi promised they would have to do the trip the next day instead.
He says his wife was so annoyed that she locked him out of
her room at their home in the city of Lucknow in the northern Indian
state of Uttar Pradesh.
He was quoted in local media as saying: “Deepika’s cousin was going to get married the next month and she wanted to go shopping for the wedding.
“On Saturday, Deepika asked me to take her shopping, but seeing I had too much work in the office, I postponed the shopping for the next day – she became upset at this.
“She was so upset about this that when I reached home from office in the evening, she locked the door of her room.”
When Deepika didn’t open the door, he had to sleep in the lobby.
The next morning after knocking on the door and getting no response, he broke down the door.
He said: “I saw her hanging. I informed the police soon after.”
Mr. Dwivedi, a civil servant in the local government’s education department, reportedly married a year ago and lived with his wife, brother and parents.
