Man Dies After Wife Crushes Testicles

An enraged Ethiopian mother of five will be tried for the murder of her husband who died after she crushed his testicles in a fight, police told the state-run Ethiopian News Agency.

Police said on Friday the man was so embarrassed after the incident that he declined to seek treatment for the injury, and died days later.

"Following a disagreement over the husband's spending habits, his wife refused to give him his dinner and also decided to sleep alone," police in the western region of Wellega said.

"The husband was so angered by this affront by his wife that he tried to beat her. In the melee that followed, the wife grabbed and twisted his testicles causing serious damage."

Police said the unnamed woman, a resident of Wayu-Tuka district in Wellega, had had several arguments with her husband about the amount of money he spent on booze.

I would probably die too, if I found out that my wife had testicles, regardless of whether she crushed hers.

Y-i-i-i-i-i-i-ikes!

This is why the Bible (OT) has the law, if a woman reaches out and grabs a man's testicles in a fight, you shall cut off her hand. (It's in there somewhere.)

Why try this woman for murder? She was defending herself. Her husband was not very smart. He attacked her and tried to beat her, obviously a person big enough, or at least smart enough, to inflict damage.

A terrible tragedy and a lost opportunity. The man had a future in the French diplomatic service...

People should have noticed something was wrong when the husband got switched from baritone to falsetto in the village choir!

Gee, he wastes money on booze, tries to beat her and she fights back.

Guess he should have let sleeping wives lie.

One would think his inability to walk might have given things away.

Deuteronomy 25:
11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

In her land, she'll probably get punished more severely.

Well if you expect a kick in the nuts and you get a slap in the face. "That's a victory!"

I guess he lost.

She was defending herself...

I was always taught that if attacked,
Grab, twist and squeeze...

or was that grab, squeeze and twist?

I've often wondered what Carrie Nation's HUSBAND was like . . .

. . . I bet he was careful what he said while she was hauling that hatchet around.
