Men caught boozing by their wives in an Indian village now face being slapped across the face by their wives' slippers.
A committee of women at Japalli, in Andhra Pradesh, introduced the punishment in a bid to 'curb the menace of liquor', reports the Press Trust of India.
Any married man discovered drinking will be hauled up before village elders and slapped five times with his wife's leather slipper in front of local residents.
They will also be fined the equivalent of £64. The fines will be handed over to the offenders' wives to spend as they see fit.
The women decided on the touch new measures after their attempts to close local liquor stores ended in failure.
Options....so many options...
I would think that the passion of the moment would dictate the specifics.
Hubby says he considers it corrective therapy at our house.
those are his words.
Good night DD.
I like him.
My sweetie refuses to wear a seat belt, and there is a law in this state resulting in a $70+ fine.
Can we just skip the middle man and have him pay me whenever he doesn't buckle up? I don't mind being paid in shoes...
SKA WWWEEELLLL!!!
Cute shoes!
Oh yeah, and I like the slipper whoppin' part of the story too.
Ohhh...those shoes are to die for.
They are much too nice to use to beat on a guy.
Wow. They are way ahead of us in slipper technology!!

They can't cut ya off if they don't know where you're getting it.
