Ranchi, Jul 18 (IANS): Not allowed to wear jeans by her husband, a woman of Jorbhitha village in Jamtara district of Jharkhand stabbed him to death. The police have arrested the woman, who has confessed to the crime.

The marriage of Andolan Tudu of Jorbhitha village and Pushpa Tudu, a resident of the neighbouring village Dudhkebara, took place three months ago. After the marriage, Pushpa wanted to go to public places wearing jeans, but her husband objected to it.
