Wife’s Feet Cut Off, Allegedly as Punishment
A Pakistani man and some of his relatives chopped off his wife’s feet after accusing her of being promiscuous, police said. She survived but remains hospitalized.
“It is a shameful act of cruelty against a woman and we are taking it seriously,” said Talat Ali, a police official in Punjab province. “Those who have carried out this crime will not be spared.”
The 32-year-old woman, who was separated from her husband but had gone to his house to visit their daughter, told police her feet were chopped off June 24 by her husband, her father-in-law, a brother-in-law and two others.
