Local sources in Nangarhar province reported the tragic suicide of an 18-year-old boy in Jalalabad city. The young man ended his life after his proposal to marry the girl he loved was decisively rejected.
The incident took place on the afternoon of Friday, July 10, in the city's fourth district. The young man, named Hejratullah, tragically used a pistol to fatally shoot himself.
The girl's family had opposed the union, and Hejratullah left a note stating he would kill himself without her. In Afghanistan, families typically make the final decisions regarding the marriages of their children.
