Guy kidnaps ex-girlfriend to get ironing done

ROME (Reuters) - An Italian man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend from a pub, taking her home and forcing her to iron his clothes and wash the dishes, police said Monday.

The 43-year-old man dragged the woman out of a pub in the port city of Genoa, shoved her into a car and took her to his home where he made her iron and wash dishes after threatening her, they said.

Police arrived at his house after being tipped off by a friend of the woman who watched the scene at the pub.

The man, who was apparently furious at his ex-girlfriend for leaving him, was arrested on charges of kidnapping, police said.

What the hell is wrong with the police in that country?  Who passed that kind of law?

No shit. If she would have just done it in the first place, this kidnapping wouldn't have been necessary. The judge should fine her for all the trouble she caused.

This doesn't suprise me a bit. I thought Neanderthal behavior among males in Italy was contained to the Naples area though. I wasn't aware it extended that far north.
