A PHOTOGRAPHER in Chongqing, China, puts up with his wife beating him daily — all in the name of love.

Nanyang Siang Pau reported that the couple even have an agreement to avoid the beating from getting out of hand.

“We agreed that the beatings should not be too severe, failing which she will have to return to her parents and stay with them for three days,” said the young man, who was only identified by his surname Zhang.

Zhang said his wife had loved martial arts since she was young and that when they first met at a party, his friends had teased him about becoming her “punching bag” after marriage.

Recalling the first time he was beaten up by his wife, Zhang said he had teased her about her hairstyle.

“But despite all the beatings, I still love her,” the daily quoted him as saying.
