We were legally married, but I did not want to make love that fateful night. When I refused to make love, he kept insisting that we must do it . We loved each other and we got married 11 days ago. When I refused to make love, he started hiting me ,so I took a knife and stabbed him in the chest . I never meant to kill him. I only wanted to threaten him . It was a minior stab and I did not know he would die. I don’t really know what came over me .I regret my action . I have used my hand to bring sorrow upon my life”.
