How did he force her to get an abortion?

What if the female had no history of mental illness and the only reason for the suicide was due to the emotional abuse she suffered? Or if she was currently pregnant with his child?

If she committed suicide, there was at least a recent history of mental disturbance.

So what's the story?

How do you know the female had no history of mental illness? Are you qualified to make that statement?

In theory, it might be possible. But, it would take a lot of work and more than a little luck to make such a case.

A civil suit would stand a better chance of succeeding than a criminal prosecution, but it will all depend on the details of the matter.

If you think a crime was committed, report it to the police.

I agree. Was the man forcing her to stay in the environment? If not, then she could have escaped it. Criminal charges might be appropriate if, let's say, a group of teenagers constantly berated an unpopular kid at school. Hazing him, beating him up, and coaxing him to kill himself to make the world a better place. I think I saw some current affair show, or something like that, where a group of kids were engaged in internet torment, sending bad emails, etc. and when the young girl killed herself, the parents of the deceased pushed the authorities to take criminal action against the group. But I do not know whether or not the charges stuck.
