    Rita, It may not be an intentional happened. But she could have kept silent and spoken him next day morning. At the end she is alone in life.Though he was drunk since many years he did not take the life of his wife. I used to remember when i was in Erfurt,which is in Thuringen i used to see an old husband and wife simply fighting but very next day both of they will go for morning walk,and they will wish me Guten tag... it means all these are part of life and it will vanish after some time. That is life and thats what is life.

    Alchohol habit is the worst menace in our society. It has ruined many families in our society. For the poor cheap quality is available and for the affordables that too is available anytime anywhere. It is sickening to witness a drunken person behaving inside house. I really pity this woman what she must have gone through before committing the life of her husband.

    Drunkenness/Alcoholism on the part of the head of the family is the worst possible tragedy/curse, which could affect a family in many negative ways.

    I have personally across two such affected families which were on the verge of disintegration due to frequent quarrels between the head of the family and his spouse and children, respectively, besides leading to huge financial, health and social setbacks.

    However, once the person totally gave up the drinking habit (which is likely only in extremely rare cases), there was a sea change in the situation, with a happy ending for all the family members!

    It is a joke for some readers. It's a tragic life for a poor family members.
    There are many similar Shoba is around us and every day tolerating drunken husbands harassments.
    There is a limit for everything.
    What Shobha did is right.
    Let her get released from the jail soon.

    For Shobha, this might be "The last straw on a camel's back." When the water level in a dam reaches danger mark, it bursts. So is with a patient man and that is the reason our elders have said "Of all, beware the fury of a patient man." Once the limit crosses, the patient man becomes most dangerous, when, Akhrosh (uncontrolled anger) sets in. Hope, judges will take her case leniently.
    I do not condemn Vasu, since God said "Do not condemn others, because you do not know in which storm I made him to walk."
