SHIBERGHAN (Pajhwok): A 21-year-old girl has committed suicide by hanging herself in the Aqcha district of northern Jawzjan province, an official said on Wednesday.

Mohammad Reza Ghafoori, the governor’s spokesman, told Pajhwok Afghan News the girl killed herself on Tuesday night after all her family members went to sleep.

The girl had been allegedly forcibly engaged to man and it might be the cause of her suicide, Ghafoori said.

“It is not yet ascertained if it was a suicide case, but police have launched investigation,” he added.
