Kanpur: A 28-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide following a quarrel with her husband for not taking leave on their first marriage anniversary.
Poonam Pal hanged herself with her 'dupatta' at her home on Wednesday in Barra 8 area of the district, police said today.
She was apparently upset with her husband Brajesh, who works at a private hospital, a police spokesperson said.
She had asked her husband to take leave on their first marriage anniversary but he left saying he would return home early, he said, adding the couple had quarrelled over the issue.
Later, the victim's mother-in-law left for the market but when she returned in the evening, she found Poonam hanging from the skylight of a room on the first floor of the house, he said.
"She immediately informed her family members about it who later called police," he said.
The body has been sent for post-mortem, he said.
"The woman's family has not complained against anyone, so the in-laws have not been questioned as yet," he said.
