New Delhi, January 17: In a bizarre case, a divorced couple in the Indian city of Ahmedabad have hit the headlines. When the wife refused to get back to her husband and the latter retaliated by beating his spouse black and blue and biting off her lips, reports The Times of India.
The 27-year-old woman uregently needs plastic surgery and is admitted in hospital as the husband took off one- third of her right upper and lower lip as well the corner of the mouth and spat the flesh on the road during the assault.
The woman needs the surgery not for merely cosmetic purposes but so that she can eat and hold her saliva, a plastic surgeon told the daily.
The victim can barely speak in her present condition. The couple got divorced merely after one month of marriage when the wife realised that her husband was an alcoholic.
