Shocking viral footage shows a man brutally stomping on his wife and her lover after catching the pair unclad in a bedroom. The cheating spouse is shown no mercy by the furious husband, who brings a number of friends with him as they bust the guilty couple red-handed. The clip now viewed over a million times on Chinese social media is believed to have been filmed in Guangdong Province in South China, judging by the regional dialect spoken by the individuals in the video.

Amazingly, however, throughout the beating the wife does her best to protect her boyfriend, often putting her own body between her lover and the heavy blows from her husband. The outraged husband even whacks her over the back with a pole, and his friends join in and attack the lover as well, causing both victims to wince and cry in pain and terror.
In the end, the poor woman is singled out by the husband, who continually stomps on her head, face and chest, all while his friends shove their phone camera in her face. The unclad woman’s loud cries continue all the way until the end of the video. Netizens on Chinese social media, as always, have been divided by the events, but generally expressed sympathy for the wife.
However, a great number of comments backed the husband and praised him for taking matters into his own hands. Adultery is not a punishable crime in China, with marriage laws only forbidding a wedded individual from marrying a second time before divorcing their previous spouse.
As a result, husbands and wives with unfaithful partners often seek their own form of mob justice. It is unclear if police are looking into the matter and whether or not the husband and his friends will be charged with battery.
