ABUSIVE HUSBAND DOES DONKEY GODIVA

Lima (dpa) - A man who repeatedly beat his wife has been forced to
ride naked through his mountain village on the back of donkey, the Ojo
newspaper reported Friday.
The man, whose nude ride through Andamarca recalled the medieval
exploits of Britain's Lady Godiva, was surrounded by a group of about
20 women who prevented him from dismounting and forced him to wear a
sign reading: ''This is how violent husbands are punished!''
The women told male spectators that they had a list of ten other
husbands who faced the same fate if they did not stop beating their
wives.
According to legend, Lady Godiva's husband Leofric, earl of Mercia,
agreed to ease the heavy taxes on the people of Coventry if she agreed
to ride naked through town on a white horse.
