Activists advocating male rights and opposing feminism believe that in comparison to married women the married men commit suicide in greater number. According to them the patriarchal system affects men more negatively than women. To analyze this point of view on the basis of research data an attempt has been made to represent the social, psychological and biological factors responsible for male-suicides. The objective of the paper is to draw attention and generate awareness towards this serious, however, neglected problem of Indian society.
