On the afternoon of October 7, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huyen (29 years old, Buon Ma Thuot City) asked her husband, Mr. Dao The Anh (35 years old), to get his eyebrows tattooed but was refused. Thinking that there was nothing to worry about, that same afternoon, Ms. Huyen went to a beauty salon next to her house to get beautified.

When she got home, her husband attacked her. "He pulled me into the kitchen and pushed my head into the burning stove. I tried to escape, but he took the kettle of water that was boiling on the stove and poured it over my head," the wife said.

Ms. Huyen and her husband have been married for 8 years and have 2 children together. Because her husband is jealous, family life often has conflicts.

Doctor Nguyen Quang Son, Deputy Head of the Emergency Department of Dak Lak General Hospital, said that Ms. Huyen suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns covering 11% of her body and her health has stabilized.

The incident is being investigated and clarified by the police.
