Beware a Cheated Wife in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong a scorned wife is ‘allowed‘ to kill her cheating husband, as long as she does it with her bare hands. The actual wording of the law is much more broad and ambiguous, but there is an implication that if the provocation is strong enough, and the crime unpremeditated – the whole adding up to the actions of a ‘reasonable’ person, then the killing could be considered justified. The ‘bare hands’ thing is probably a very literal translation of the ‘no premeditation’ bit: if she went to fetch a weapon, that could be considered premeditation, in theory.
