ME Times: Pakistani police have charged a 45-year-old woman with beheading her husband with a dagger and chopping up his body after he planned to take a fourth wife, officials said on Wednesday.WhatÂ’s good for the gooseÂ…Majeeda Khatoon lopped off her spouse's head, cut off his legs with the help of relatives and dumped the body parts in a sewer in Gulshan-e-Hadeed on the outskirts of the southern city of Karachi, police said.
"The victim was said to bear a passion for women and Khatoon, who was already fed up with her husband's extramarital activities, got annoyed when he said he was going for a fourth marriage," said another police officer, Akhtar Shah BangashÂ…
Â…Pakistani men are permitted to take up to four wives under Islam, although most do not.
More often it is women who are subjected to brutal "honor punishments" including rape and murder for alleged adultery or for bringing supposed shame on their families.

I guess she'd had enough. It seems Pakistan is the where this is most reported but still enforcement is spotty at best.
