A Bahrain husband, suspecting his wife is not faithful to him, shaved her hair off and burned her body with a lit cigarette, newspapers reported on Sunday.

Police arrested the husband after the wife reported that he tortured her just because he suspected she had an affair outside their marriage.

Newspapers quoted doctors as saying the husband shaved his wife’s hair off and scalded various parts of her body with a lit cigarette.

They quoted the husband as telling court that he went mad after suspecting his wife and that he lost his temper after an argument.

The report did not identify the couple but said the judge decided to issue a sentence against the defendant in December.
