Our understanding behind this study is that murder and suicide are two extreme outcomes of troubled relationships or suffering. Before the situation escalates to this extreme there are undertones of abuse, violence and mental trauma. By documenting incidents of murder of men by wives or girlfriends and suicide by men due to reasons as described in the report, we are establishing that there is considerable number of men who are victims of abuse but as we do not have gender neutral laws, the actual numbers are not known. The incidents documented in this study have been taken from media reports which published these crimes and not from police data or national crime records bureau data as it is not recorded by agencies in gender-based formats in terms of victim and perpetrator.
