A woman stabbed her husband to death as she was stopped from wearing jeans after marriage in Jharkhand's Jamtara. The incident has been reported from Jorbhitha village under Jamtara police station limits.

On Saturday night, the victim, identified as Pushpa Hembrom, went to see a fair in Gopalpur village wearing jeans. When she returned home, the couple had a heated exchange over her attire and questioned her as to why she wore the jeans after her marriage.

The alleged comments of the husband led to an argument and, in a fit of rage, Pushpa attacked her husband with a knife, leaving the victim grievously injured.
