Chinese husband smashes up home after wife buys dishwasher without his consent
Raging husband with considerable debts explodes violently over domestic purchase then apologises saying they can buy a ‘smaller’ machine
A video clip released by a woman in China in which her husband is seen smashing up their home because she bought a 1,500-yuan (US$215) dishwasher has gone viral on social media.
The woman, who lives in Guangdong province, southern China, said in a video posted on January 8, that she had bought the machine from an online platform without telling her husband.
She said she needed it because the tap water in winter was too cold for her to wash by hand, the Dahe News reported.
Her husband does not do any washing up, according to the unidentified woman.
The man only found out about the purchase when a worker came to install the dishwasher in their rented flat.
The husband ordered his wife to cancel the order and return the machine but she refused.
He said that the family could not afford the dishwasher because of high water and electricity charges.
