The Sharjah Police Criminal Investigation Department is looking into the death of a Pakistani woman who died after throwing herself from her parents' apartment last Thursday evening. Although she was 21, the woman's family allegedly forced her to marry a man over 70 years old.

The Sharjah Law enforcement room got a report that a woman, S.A, 21, had committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of her parent's house on the third floor of a housing complex in the Muwailih region of Sharjah.

Police patrols, a forensic unit, and the regional ambulance rushed to the scene right away, according to the police spokesperson. The woman died instantly due to her vital wounds, which were discovered at the scene.  The body was taken to Al Qasimi Hospital in Sharjah.

According to preliminary testing the deceased, who lived with her family in the Emirate of Sharjah, was clearly at odds with them because they were compelling her to marry a Pakistani man over 70 years old.

She was reportedly resisting and attempting to persuade them to stop dragging her into that marriage. As she learned of her parents' plan to send her back to her home country to finish the marriage, she plunged from the balcony and died instantly when her head hit the ground, according to the police.

The body is being autopsied at a forensic laboratory, whilst the majority of the incident's procedures are being handled by the Industrial Comprehensive Police Station of the industrial city.
