Bangladesh man cuts off wife's fingers ... because she went to college.

Police in Bangladesh said they would charge a migrant worker accused of cutting off most of his wife's hand after she started studying for a college degree without his permission.

Rafiqul Islam tied up his 21-year-old wife, taped up her mouth and then cut off the five fingers of her right hand just hours after he had returned from the United Arab Emirates, police chief Mohammad Salauddin said.

"He was enraged because he did not like her studying at college. He was jealous because while he only had a grade 8 standard education, she was off to college to pursue higher studies," Mr Salahuddin told AFP.

 Islam, 30, admitted to the crime after he was arrested in Dhaka, Salauddin said, adding that police had finished an investigation and would charge Islam with permanent disfiguration, which is punishable by life imprisonment. Full story...
