All three are under treatment in the public hospital in Mazar-e-Sharif city. The brother of the woman has said her sister was mentally unstable, and that is why she tried to commit suicide.<\/p>\n<p>The local attorney&rsquo;s office has rejected this claim. Fawzia Hamidi, a local attorney, has said the woman had no mental disability, but was facing domestic violence which forced her to take this extreme step. She added the victim&rsquo;s husband has been in the U.S. for many years and has married another woman there. Hamidi added the victim&rsquo;s husband was not responding to her telephone calls for the past three days which could have compelled her to opt for suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Shafique, head of the public hospital in Balkh province, has said&nbsp;one of the child is in critical state. Nilofar Sayar, a local women&rsquo;s rights activist, told Salam Watandar the cases of violence against women are on the rise in the province. She cited&nbsp;absence of the rule of law as the main cause for such incidents.<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAZAR-E-SHARIF (SW): A married woman has tried to commit suicide along with her two children under suspicious circumstances in Balkh province on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":83963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[93],"class_list":["post-83962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society","tag-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
