She lured her cheating husband into bed, then plunged a knife through his heart after they had sex.
Miraculously, he survived. She will now go to jail for 11 years, leaving him free to philander as he chooses.
Nooshin Nedjah, 30, became convinced her husband, Medi Sangachin, 36, had taken another wife while on a recent visit to Iran.
He suffered massive blood loss after the kitchen knife entered his heart and only survived the attack thanks to the skill of a surgeon.
Nedjah was cleared of attempted murder after a trial at Leeds Crown Court, but she was convicted of wounding with intent.
The jury heard the couple met on a bus in 2010 and married in June last year. They set up home in a first floor apartment in Leeds, where neighbors got the impression they were not a happy couple.
Last December, Sangachin visited his family in Iran. He told his wife he had been unfaithful to her and tension between them continued as Nedjah believed he had taken a second wife during his trip.
The court heard Nedjah persuaded her husband to come to bed on the afternoon of February 17 and they had sex.
Afterward sex, she said she had a “surprise” and told him to cover his eyes.
Jonathan Sharp, prosecuting, said: “At that point she produced a sharp knife, which she had fetched from the kitchen, and plunged it with force into his chest, penetrating his heart and his left lung and narrowly missing the coronary artery.”
Nedjah, who came to the UK to study English, initially failed to help her husband as blood pumped from the wound but eventually dialed 999, the emergency number in Britain.
Nedjah tried to claim her husband had inflicted the injury upon himself then said he was stabbed accidentally as the pair struggled. Matthew Bean, for Nedjah, said his client had been receiving treatment for mental health problems.
Judge Peter Collier told Nedjah he was satisfied her husband had been unfaithful. He said: “I am satisfied that you lured him to have sex with you in order to get him into the position where you could strike him as you did.”
