Cain killed Abel and God according to the bible said the following: "What have you done? I hear the voice of your brother's blood crying to me from the ground. Now you will be cursed on the earth soaked with your brother's blood which was drawn by your own hand." And therefore, that instance became known as the first murder in the bible and the first broken family.\n\nConfusianism- also allows suicide under certain circumstances...such as illness\n\nHinduism- hardly and RARELY allows cases of suicide\n\nIslam- Condems the idea and the action of suicide
