Abstract: The research analyzed the Social, Cultural, and Psychological factors that lead to Female Committed Suicide in Mardan, Pakistan. A survey conducted with families that lost their female members to suicide concluded that common root causes for women’s suicides in the region include domestic violence, child marriage and poverty. Lack of social support and mental illness also increases the risk to a higher degree. The outcome of the study also calls for enhancing mental health care, overall financial assistance, and legal safeguards. Some of the recommendations include the need to scale up mental health, improve responses to domestic violence, preventing child marriage, access and education to social support. The findings of this study help identify the major points of focus in order to decrease the rate of female suicides and evaluate the general psychological health in Mardan.
