    Lesson of the story is Before serving food to husband. Wife should hide away all Sharp objects like knife and forks.
    Or get married to a mature person. Else immature people shouldn't marry.

    Men who don't know how to cook have no right to complaint about food quality. It is not hard and fast rule that only women have to cook. If he was so obsessed with taste then he could have cooked himself.

    You could have taught some cooking to her. After that she would have cooked better than you. But using this as an excuse to kill anyone is not a solution. The parents of the girl must see that he should not get married again.

    The parents should not shed their responsibility just by getting their daughters married at the age of 21. Allow them to study, work and stand on their feet. Let them be mature enough to choose a boy they would like to marry.

    But who are going to educate these people. India's politicians??????

    May Akshatas soul rest in peace.

    He might have compared his wife's cooking to his mother's. Mother will always cook better than wife.

    Then he should have stayed with his mother only... Why did he marry?
    The person who can differentiate the taste of food, do not understand that mother and wife both are unique with different thoughts and views ? Why he didn't divorce her? Who gave authority to that idiot to kill his wife?
    It's written in the marriage agreement? He has the taste of eating outside food too much... Not mother. In any case, some of you defend criminals irrespective of their crimes. Disgusting

    Ramesha Naik Udipi,Of course mothers cooking is tasting better to all.That doesnt mean he should kill her when once food is not according to his taste.She is too young for to be a best cook.He too could cook then when wifes cooking wasnt good.nobody prevents him to teach her or self cook.Mothers are doing a bad habit of not allowing boys to learn cooking.I appriciate keralaties that men can cook.He was may be drunken when came home for food.Even mothers too learnt cooking with experience.not from today of tomorrow.He should be caught and punished for life time.so that not another girl has to give up her life for not cooking nicely.Previously men used to do this to their wives.Even today it has not changed .sad .may her sould rest in peace.I advice girls ,see that when you want get marry,that boy knows some cooking.

    I think no explanation for his behaviour is needed, since to commit an act like this, only a mentally deranged person can do it. If this was the criteria for killing a wife, atleast half of our sisters would have been out from the face of this earth.

    There is a urgent need to stop this type killings. Religious heads / people should educate their communities how to value human life, marry your daughters to a matured, responsible, educated guy with a age difference not more than 5 years between both.
    Those who kill innocent wives should be sent to Indian borders to patrol the borders prior to the soldiers as a punishment. Keeping them in jails & looking after them is a painful & useless exercise. The money greedy justice system will release them in one or the other way to committ the same crime again & again.

    Girls learn cooking & roll over before getting married! Good food with relishing taste is a pleasure. Nowadays, many girls are not interested in taking culinary lessons. Fast food chains have become substitutes for kitchen cooked food. Many husbands may land up in restaurants if the wife cooks tasteless & boring dishes.

    Vincent d souza,Belthangady,That is what we expected from you men.why shouldnt boys learn cooking before get married?Todays girls are more educated and work,bring enough money for their house hold.Nothing that girls should learn cooking is too ok,but is not must..But sametime when girls arent blessed with their knack to cook good is not a catastroph.sometimes men cook better.what all you men long from a girl is sometimes hard to understand.Present youngsters prefer more junk food and oldcookery is not their way of life.Best is both can cook together and not one sitting infront of tv,other one is trying to cooperate with children and cooking..One can have fun and more taste even the food isnt that best is.Important is both can understand each other and love each other,not fight against each other for bad food.Once in a way husband too can cook and relieve wife for a day .for example on sunday.

    why one get their daughter's married to some PIGS who wants to treat them like slave. The daughter's can be in their own house. Just for these idiots to be called as a father of a child she is gonna give birth the poor girls have to bear every nonsense.

    just skin him alive and hang him under a hot sun in a jungle just enough high that, the foxes and cats can tear him down. this is only way he can feel remorseful for this sin and the little girl's soul can rest in peace.
    I am really upset and angry with this news. The case will go on until he dies naturally.

    Nothing special that a 22 year old doesn’t know cooking, it’s a learning process.

    The way these illiterates killing their young wives for silly reasons, it's just disgusting..
    Please don't give your loved daughters to such illiterates in marriage who doesn't even know the value of love, life & killing helpless women. The way these people eliminating their wives shows they are making the society, community only male society in near furture.
    Make this society Alcohol free then atleast 50% of the problems will be solved.
    Stop drinking Alcohol & stop comitting crimes for no reason.
    Government should ban Alcohol if it really thinks & care for the poor.

    Who made this match in the first place ? He looks 35 years or older, she only 22 ? Not surprising that he might be finding her too childish and gets bugged at her not knowing to cook.

    RIP Akshata...
