A 21-year-old woman has become the fourth person to die in Nepal this year after she was forced to stay in a 'menstruation hut' during her period under the practice of chhaupadi. She died due to smoke inhalation and suffocation as she closed the door of the windowless hut and lit a fire for warmth during the night, authorities said.
