BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese bride burned her new husband to death after he got into bed after a drunken argument without washing his feet, state media reported on Wednesday.
"Wang and his wife, Luo, were married on February 2. The couple, however, frequently fought over trivial things while still on their honeymoon," the official Xinhua news agency quoted a local newspaper as saying.
The couple, from the central province of Hubei, had another fight on the night of March 4, "and in frustration they together drank a bottle of liquor to ease their anger."
"At about 10 p.m., Luo watched her husband get into bed without cleaning or washing his feet. In a fit of anger and intoxication, she set fire to the sheet he was sleeping in," the report said.
"When he awoke, the two began fighting before a very drunk Wang collapsed. As fire engulfed the bedroom. Luo escaped to the living room, leaving her other half to burn," it added.
The woman has been arrested, Xinhua said.
Another stupid Reuters headline. Obviously the couple had some major problems if they were fighting all the time and he was coming home drunk. The unwashed feet were just the last straw, not the whole reason.
The honey moon was sort of a Sweet and Sour Poke.....
He was already home drunk. They got drunk together. No "coming home" involved.
in frustration they together drank a bottle of liquor to ease their anger
OK, but I think my point still stands.
Well that will teach him!
Ah ha...I think we're peeling away the layers of her fiery rage now.
That’ll teach him!

The problem is simple, they would argue and an hour later they would be hungry for another argument.
Sweet and Sour Poke.
Good one.
Hick ‘mericans just split the sheets.
Burning down the house does seem a tad extreme, but maybe it is a cultural thing.
This infuriated the wife, who yelled at him”You want Beef and Broccoli??/!!!!!
We need to encourage this sort of thing.
Let's send some feminists and liberal lawyers over there right away.
(One-way tickets? Of course!!)
Cheers!
Surprising. This usually works so well.

Yep. Nothing like getting liquored up to bring on a smooth thoughtful reconciliation.
