A man has died after his wife cut off his penis as he slept. File picture showing Uttar Pradesh, northern India
Following the argument, the furious lady sliced off his manhood with a kitchen knife as he slept in their home in Shikarpur village, Uttar Pradesh in northern India, local media says.
The attack happened on Thursday when the man's first wife was not at home, the Times of India reports.
Reports say the knife-wielding wife, named only as Harza, had pleaded with the priest to reconsider his plans but he would not listen.
Confessing to the crime, she told police she believed the only way to stop him marrying again was to castrate him.
According to India Today, Harza enlisted the help of a family member to perform prayers, or last rites, over her husband's dead body after he bled to death.
It was at this point a local resident became aware of the knife attack and alerted police.
Harza was arrested on Friday.
A police spokesman said: "The woman has confessed to her crime. Her husband wished to marry yet again. And she wanted to prevent him.
"Their argument turned into a major scuffle.”
