A Romanian woman ripped open her husband’s scrotum after he failed to get her flowers or help with housework on International Women’s Day.
The man’s wife of 15 years, Marinela Benea, said she was fed up with being ignored by her husband.
“Ionel had been given a bottle of wine for a days work instead of getting paid, and had arrived home drunk. When he gets drunk, he changes. All night he made me keep the fire on because he was cold and I did it to avoid having an argument.
“In the morning I opened the curtains and told him to go out and do some work, or at least to help with the household chores but he shouted that I’m not entitled to give him orders.
“I told him he was not any kind of man and I grabbed his balls. It was not my fault that he pulled away, and that’s when it happened. I thought maybe that some ice would solve the problem, but he insisted on calling an ambulance. He was pretty annoyed.”
The husband Ionel Popa, 39, was rushed to hospital with his scrotum torn open after his wife had grabbed his testicles in order to punish him.
The attending paramedic said that the man had a severe open wound on his scrotum, “He told us his wife had attacked him because he did not give her flowers for International Woman’s Day.”
The man’s left testicle was hanging out of his scrotum after the skin was ripped apart and required emergency surgery to repair the damage. Ionel remains in hospital recovering from his wounds in a stable condition while police investigate the attack.
