An 18-year-old wife, her eye cut and face bleeding, pleaded with officers at a hospital not to arrest her husband after he assaulted her. She said her mother-in-law and other in-laws already dislike her and would blame her if he were taken into custody. The young wife insisted she would rather leave the marriage than see him jailed. As she spoke between medical treatments, her husband grasped her arm and covered her mouth, while friends and staff tried to reassure her. Authorities later arrested the husband as she continued receiving care.
