A 41-year-old woman was thoroughly caned by a group of elders after she assaulted her husband.
The incident happened on Monday morning at Rigoma village in Nyamira County.
The elders led by Simon Oteyo claimed that the woman, Ann Magoma assaulted her husband, Stephen Mose over sex.
"Magoma has been assaulting Mose secretly when he tries to make love with her. She attacked him on Sunday night when he asked her to agree so that they can have sex. Mose reported the matter immediately he was assaulted by Magoma," said Oteyo.
Oteyo said the woman was paraded outside her house in the presence of neighbors where she was canned thoroughly.
"We want violence against men to stop in the village. Women with the tendency of beating up their husbands will not be condoned in the village. We caned her to serve as an example to the rest of the women who beat their husbands and go unreported," he noted.
Area assistant chief, Walter Okenye said he could not interfere with the elders decision to cane the woman.
The chief warned women against beating their husband and urged them to stop being selfish in giving their husbands conjugal rights.
