A 21-year-old Indian woman has allegedly killed herself because of constant harassment by her husband over her “dark complexion”.
Police in Rajasthan state registered a case against the woman’s husband after her father complained that he was responsible for her death.
Police said no arrests have been made. The husband is yet to make a statement on the allegations.
Many Indians regard fair skin as being superior to darker tones.
The woman’s father told police that her husband used to “repeatedly humiliate her over her dark complexion”, which led her to kill herself.
