Sharjah: Indian woman allegedly ends life after killing baby, social worker says
A 21-year-old Indian woman from Kollam, Kerala, is reported to have died by suicide after allegedly taking the life of her one-year-and-five-month-old baby in Sharjah, according to a social worker familiar with the case.
Social workers told Khaleej Times on Thursday that the woman, who moved to the UAE around two years ago with her husband, had been living separately for the past few months due to ongoing family disputes.
'The couple got married around three years ago in Kerala and moved to the UAE shortly after their wedding. Both were working here but were not happy in their relationship,' said Kamampalam.
The relationship between the couple had been strained for some time, with frequent arguments and disagreements over family-related matters. The issues escalated to a point where they decided to live apart. 'A legal case had also been filed by the husband through a lawyer, and a notice had been sent to the woman,' added Kamampalam.
Social workers said that authorities discovered the bodies of the mother and child on Tuesday. Details of how the incident occurred are still under investigation, and the exact circumstances leading to the tragic deaths have not yet been officially confirmed.
The bodies of both the mother and the baby are currently with the authorities, who are carrying out a detailed investigation into the matter.
The community is in shock over the incident. 'We urge families facing domestic issues to seek help through counselling and legal support,' said Kamampalam.
