Muhammad Arif, husband of 22-year-old Suhaira, was arrested by police on charges of abetting his wife to commit suicide.
The move comes following a complaint lodge by the family members of Banu.
Suhaira, daughter of D P Muhammed from Kuppepadav, had allegedly ended her life last Thursday by hanging herself at her husband's house in Pranthya near here.
The woman had resorted to the extreme step when only her mother-in-law was at home. When Suhaira did not appear for a long time from her room, the worried mother-in-law called Arif, who broke open the room door and found her hanging inside.
The couple had been married for two years, and had a 6-month old daughter.
