Jealous wife nearly severs hubby's penis Wed Sep 26, 4:29 PM ET
A Malaysian court sentenced an Indonesian woman to prison for six months for
almost severing her husband's penis out of jealousy, police said Wednesday.
Umidah Setu, an Indonesian migrant worker living in Malaysia, pleaded guilty
in court Tuesday in the southern city of Johor Bahru to voluntarily causing
hurt, said Che Yussof Che Ngah, deputy chief of Johor state's criminal
investigations department.
Umidah, a 47-year-old canteen operator, was arrested Sunday after her
husband, who is also from Indonesia, filed a police report claiming she tried
to cut off his penis with a knife, Che Yussof said.
Che Yussof said the man, whom he declined to identify, received 11 stitches
after going to the hospital on his motorcycle for treatment.
Che Yussof said the dispute surfaced because Umidah was jealous of another
woman, but he declined to elaborate on whether the man had been having an
affair.
The couple have been married for 17 years and have two children, the New
Straits Times newspaper said.
Muslim men in Malaysia are allowed to take up to four wives. It was not clear
if Umidah will appeal the sentence.
