Wife facing six years in Italian jail for not doing chores

A disgruntled husband is taking his wife to court for doing a shoddy job of the housework — and she faces six years in jail as a result.

The fed-up 47-year-old Italian from Sonnino, has had his wife charged with “mistreatment of the family” on account of her “poor management of household chores”.

According to The Local Italy, the husband has felt “insulted” by his wife’s negligence for more than two years, and has decided to hold her to account for her tardiness.
