Suicide to protect honor

Question: 

Salam alaykum

Is it true that a woman may kill herself to avoid dishonor?

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

No, she may  defend herself to the death  which is different. In the latter case she would be a shahida. If she kills herself it’s just suicide. Allah knows best.
