SUKKUR, Nov 24: A woman tried to commit suicide at the Darul Aman, Sukkur, on Sunday night.

The woman, Shamshad Solangi, had fixed a rope around her neck but the rope tore and she fell down and injured. She was taken to the Sukkur Civil Hospital.

Ms Shamshad had obtained divorce from her husband through a local court 20 days back and had been shifted to the Darul Aman because there was a threat to her life from her relatives as she wanted to marry a man, Janib Mahar, of her will.

The woman attempted suicide when she came to know that Mr Janib had been killed, allegedly by her brother, the day the court allowed her to get divorce from her husband.
