Comment:
Nut head! to the justice system and the (Indian) wife... So the wife suffered years of hardship under the husband, so that gives her the rights to 'burn him (or his penis)’ in exchange for the years of hardship (due to her stupidity in the first place)?!
HOW would the court react IF the husband was the one that burnt the private parts of the wife or set her on fire?! … I know, the court system has a ‘double standard’ one for the woman, and the other for the man! CRAB!
Note: The woman should be smart and brave enough to voice out her discontent years back, before it accumulated and got worst… Ignorance of the law (or one's right) has never been a good defence these days! (Least you a woman ?!)

SOUTH AUSTRALIA (SA) - HUSBAND Burner Gets Suspended Sentence !
By Liza Kappelle, AAP April 13, 2011, 12:59 pm
An Adelaide woman who killed her cheating husband by setting him on fire has walked from court with a suspended sentence. Rajini Narayan, 46, ONLY PLANNED to burn her husband's penis a little, to bind him to her by leaving a red mark like the one on her forehead. She was distressed and muddled after suffering more than two decades of physical and psychological abuse only to discover that Satish, 47, was having an affair and might leave her. She told him of her illogical penis purifying plan and showed him a cup of petrol and a candle.
BUT he turned his back on her saying: "No, you won't. You bitch." (Note: Oh yes, the husband suppose to say, 'Ok, yes, quickly burn my penis!' ... What a load of crab!) Narayan told her Supreme Court murder trial, which found her guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter, she had snapped and thrown the candle and petrol on his back. Her husband later died of the burns.
Justice John Sulan sentenced Narayan on Wednesday to six years in jail. He set a non-parole period of three years and took the unusual step of suspending the sentence, saying Narayan had suffered already and sending her to jail may punish others more. "For the first time in your life you had confronted your husband, had found the courage to be assertive to the person who had mistreated you for 20 years," he said. "His response was to treat you with disdain, dismiss you."
Her husband's family had called for the maximum punishment for the death of the man they described as talented and loving. But his children told the court that while they grieved for their abusive father, the atmosphere at home was no longer angry and hostile. "It is clear from your children's evidence that you are the linchpin of the family," Justice Sulan said.
