Reactions have poured in after an 8-month-old pregnant wife amputated her husband’s penis. A twitter user, drpenking, who is a Medical doctor by profession shared the news earlier on Wednesday on his Twitter handle. He wrote, ‘’An 8 month pregnant wife had a little quarrel with her husband this morning which got physical. She grabbed a kitchen knife and amputated the man's penis.
