Boozing hubbies face wives' slippers

Men caught boozing by their wives in an Indian village now face being slapped across the face by their wives' slippers.

A committee of women at Japalli, in Andhra Pradesh, introduced the punishment in a bid to 'curb the menace of liquor', reports the Press Trust of India.

Any married man discovered drinking will be hauled up before village elders and slapped five times with his wife's leather slipper in front of local residents.

They will also be fined the equivalent of £64. The fines will be handed over to the offenders' wives to spend as they see fit.

The women decided on the touch new measures after their attempts to close local liquor stores ended in failure.

I remember a story that once when Willie Nelson came home drunk, one too many times, and passed out on the bed, his wife sewed him up in the sheets and then beat him with a frying pan!

Are you serious thats cool

Wow!

They have it lucky..... I also have to sleep on the downstairs couch and grovel for a week!

A bit unfair. Why shouldn't they be allowed to drink?

Also, what about single men and women drinkers?

Pure class! Writes that one down for future reference...

I wonder if those slippers with torches in will catch on there

Is India one of the places where being shown or being touch by the sole of a shoe is really really offensive?

The public humiliation might work, I suppose.

Hmm . . the abuse of liquor has destroyed many promising lives.

Being hit by footwear will be humiliating for anyone.

And there lies the birth of fetishes...

. o O (hey this isnt humiliating..... I like this!).

-------^^^^ not my personal fetish for amusement btw.

That should work.

well, I think a little drink doesnt hurt, but it's nice they are taking care of it before it becomes habitual

Thats the problem, it has become to common for these women`s liking so they are now resorting to assualting their husbands with slippers for any sort of drinking. I could understand if they come home drunk but they should be allowed to have a glass or two.

but...oranges in a pillow case works much better......won't leave as many or in fact, no bruises
