Rita Yadav, reportedly slashed her spouse’s penis off while at the couple’s home in Khora Colony, in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, on Thursday.
The 28-year-old claimed husband Ved Prakash, 31, had refused to have sex with her for ten of their 11-year marriage and she believed he was having an affair.
‘He used to tell me he hated me,’ the woman, who does not work, said.
‘We used to fight daily and he told me he hated looking at my face. He always threatened he would have an affair.
‘I was desperate to have children. I used to beg him but he said he’d make love to someone else instead.
‘I’d been dealing with the torture for years and I couldn’t take any more.’
The drastic action taken by Yadav took place when her taxi-driver husband returned after a night shift.
Heading straight to the shower he was attacked as he got out.
Yadav reportedly hit him over the head with a stone grinder and he fell unconscious. Police say she then used a kitchen knife to slash his penis.
It’s believed Yadav locked her injured husband in the bathroom before handing herself into the local police station.

Her husband regained consciousness after 30 minutes and called his friend who immediately took him to Jaypee Hospital.
Inspector Jai Prakash Chaubey, at Khora Police Station, said: ‘She came to us and told us what she had done and we recorded her statement. She claimed they had regular fights and accused him of having an extra-marital affair.
‘She has confessed to attacking him and slashing his genitals in anger.’

‘His penis was almost fully detached from the base and he had lost a lot blood. His penis had been cut with a sharp knife and the cut was nearly four-inch deep.
