Can a man, as a husband, make an application for PPO? PPO Singapore for Husband?
An Indian woman in Tamil Nadu, India, was reported to have beaten up her 55-year-old husband when he requested for lunch. She even threw chili powder into his eyes!
The couple were estranged but continued living in the same house. When the husband asked to be served lunch as he did not have money to have his meal outside, the couple had an argument. Eventually, the wife beat up her husband together with her relatives.
The wife, along with 5 of her relatives involved in the attack, have since been arrested while the husband was treated for his injuries.
