Mainichi Wai Wai has a report from a Japanese weekly magazine about a woman who has been arrrested for attempted murder of her future father-in-law over a misperception of his views on her upcoming marriage to his son.

[The woman] admits to the allegations, saying she attacked the old man during a drunken fit because she thought he was going to speak out against her plans to marry his son.

“Both my fiance’s parents had told me off before about how bad my housework was, so I figured they were opposed to our marriage,” [she] told the police.

Unfortunately for the suspect, though, she’d got it wrong.

“There was never anything like that,” says [the] victim, who sustained serious stab wounds but is expected to make a full recovery.
