Catching ’wife’? Be careful, or you’ll be caught yourselfThe practice of ‘wife catching’ is a longstanding tradition. Luong Thi Phuong, vice office chief of the district’s People’s Committee, said the practice of wife catching was a ceremonial event for ethnic minorities. To save their corn, farmers bought mouse poison from a local shop. Local farmers have immediately reported the incident to the local Plant Protection Station.
