A Turkish man has filed a criminal complaint against his wife whom he accuses of beating him for having a cosmetic surgery. 

According to a report published by Sabah newspaper on Oct. 30, the 40-year-old man who works as a medical staffer at a hospital in Istanbul’s Zeytinburnu district has recently had a “botox” treatment on his face.

The man’s 33-year-old wife learned about his cosmetic operation after it was already done and reacted negatively.

According to the man’s complaint, the wife physically assaulted him and said: “Are you becoming horny after the age of 40?”

After the man provided the prosecutors a medical report to document his injuries following the assault, his wife admitted that they quarreled over the issue.

Prosecutors charged the woman for “injuring and insulting a spouse,” and the upcoming trial will be held at Istanbul’s Criminal Court of First Instance.
