A man on Sunday morning severed a foot of his wife from above the ankle as she failed to bring dowry money from her father.
The victim was identified as Shukhria Begum, 21, mother of a 6-month-old daughter of Moukaran village under Patuakhali Sadar upazila.
She was admitted first to Patuakhali General Hospital and later sent to Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital in a critical condition.
Jahangir Alam, uncle of the victim, said Shahin of Pangashia village married Shukhria Begum two and a half years ago. Since then Shahin had been demanding dowry from Shukhria.
Jahangir said Shahin often used to beat his wife up for dowry, which forced her to bring Tk 20,000 from her father’s house recently. Shahin asked Shukhria to bring more money from her father’s house but Shukhria refused to do that. She went to her father’s house a few days ago.
Shahin came to his father-in-law’s house at about 11:00am on Sunday and started chopping her wife with a sharp weapon, Jahangir went on. At one stage Shahin severed a foot of Shukhria.
