2. In 1642 an English Author Sir Thomas Browne coined the term “sucide” in his work ‘Religio Medici’ which is originated from SUI (of oneself) and CAEDES (murder). Sucide came from the Latin word Suicidium which means “the act of taking one’s own life”. SUCIDE

6. PUNISHMENT Punishment is a consequence or penalty imposed on someone for breaking a law, rule, or social norm.It is meant to prohibit the offender from repeating the behaviour and to serve as a warning to others who might think about engaging in similar behaviour.

7. Sucide and Punishment have a complex and varied relationship. A person’s mental health and wellbeing can be significantly impacted by punishment especially if it severe or extended. Punishment can sometime contribute feelings of hopelessness and despair, which may risk of sucide. According to research, people who have been imprisoned or subjected to other types of punishment are more likely to commit sucide than members of the general population . PUNISHMENT AND SUCIDE

8. For those who have experienced solitary detention or other forms of isolation, this is especially true. Punishment can also be used as a response to suicidal behaviour. People who attempted or threatened sucide, for instance, may be put on suicide watch or admitted to mental health facilities. Although these actions are taken to prevent self-harm, they may also be seen as punishment, especially if the person feels as though their freedom and autonomy have been restricted .

9. It is crucial to remember that punishing someone for acting suicidally is neither effective nor appropriate. Instead, those who struggle with suicidal ideas or actions should receive sympathetic, encouraging care that deals with the root causes of their distress. In conclusion, there are many different ways that punishment and suicide are related. Even though punishment can negatively affect a person's mental health and wellbeing, it is not a suitable or effective way to deal with suicidal behaviour. Instead, those who struggle with suicidal ideas or actions should receive sympathetic, encouraging care that deals with the root causes of their distress.

10. SECTION 309 According to the law, anyone who attempts suicide or takes any action that could lead to the commission of such an offence faces a sentence of simple imprisonment, which could last up to a year, a fine, or both.
