Hussain repeatedly stabbed Arifa Nazmin and bludgeoned her with a hammer as his wife restrained her new mother-in-law.
He also strangled and punched her during the
horror
in Birmingham, which was caught on camera.
The couple have now been found jailed after they were found guilty of attempted murder following a trial.
Hussain was caged for 15 years while his wife received a nine-year jail term.
In her victim impact statement, Arifa said: 'I still panic when the door is knocked, I can feel the fear in my body.
'I'm terrified they have returned to finish me off. I will live with this for the rest of my life.'
Birmingham
Crown Court heard they had been living at the home after they got married in December 2023.
But they soon hatched the evil plot to kill Arifa after they were accused of not doing any chores and treating the house like a hotel.

The stepmum also claimed Tabassum could not wash up properly.
The
court
was told the pair snapped when they were asked to leave the home and began assembling a chilling kill kit.
This included a can of Zoflora disinfect, gloves and a lighter all bought from a One Stop in a bid to cover their tracks.
The monster couple planned to burn Arifa's body in the garden after killing her.
They also bought the
Poundland
giraffe masks on January 29 - the day they launched the savage attack.
As Tabassum held Arifa down, Hussain plunged a knife in and battered his stepmum over the head with a hammer.
The bride told her husband "kill her, kill her" as Hussain branded Arifa a "gold digger".
He also chillingly told her: "You will die for everything you have done."
A camera inside the home captured the victim's terrified screams as she desperately fought back.

Brave Arifa managed to survive the
horror
by convincing them to go upstairs before she called for help.
Both Tabassum and Hussain fled but were discovered in a Travelodge in Bolton the following day and arrested.

Vile people smuggler who trafficked 9 adults & 2 kids argues getting deported would be ‘too disruptive for his children'
A PEOPLE smuggler who trafficked nine adults and two children has argued that being deported would be too disruptive for his kids. Miklovan Bazegurore's lawyers tried to argue that being extradited to Belgium would breach his right to family life. 1 Miklovan Bazegurore was locked up in 2018 Credit: NCA They claimed that his daughter, 10, who has special educational needs, would suffer if he was jailed in a different country. The Kosovan national was locked up in 2018 after pleading guilty at Aylesbury Crown Court to conspiracy to facilitate illegal immigration. He had links to a lorry that was caught by the National Crime Agency in Milton Keynes in 2016 having nine Albanian adults and two children hidden next to a concrete mixer inside. Since his release in 2023, he has been fighting extradition to Belgium, where he was handed a separate conviction for people smuggling and sentenced to five years. Read more His lawyer tried to argue that extraditing him would 'be extremely disruptive for the children', according to But The Court of Appeal his offences as part of an 'international smuggling ring" were so bad that extradition outweighed the impact on his kid. Bazegurore is expected to be deported in the next few weeks. It comes after a sick Palestinian gran won permission to come to Britain for medical treatment — despite fears it could undermine immigration controls. Most read in The Sun The 67-year-old has a daughter, 50, living in Britain. She argued successfully at an immigration tribunal last month they had a right to family life under a European Human Rights rule. But in court documents seen by The Sun on Sunday, the Home Office warned it could also lead to a 'proliferation' of similar applications. The woman, who suffers from spinal stenosis, is financially supported by her daughter. She lives in war-torn Gaza City and was deemed vulnerable by the tribunal as she suffers from PTSD and depression. The treatment is expected to cost about £20,000 at a private hospital in Windsor, Berks, and the woman will return to Gaza after it is completed. Upper Tribunal Judge Rebecca Owens allowed her appeal for a visitor visa. 'Right to family life' deportation loophole to FINALLY be closed in long-awaited crackdown By Harry Cole and Jack Elsom A LONG-awaited crackdown on dodgy 'family life' loopholes in deportation cases will take a huge step forward. Judges will be ordered to ignore bogus claims featuring laughable excuses which left-wing lawyers have been able to repeatedly exploit. An Albanian criminal was recently allowed to stay under Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights partly because his son A senior Government source promised: 'The bonkers predicament that Britain finds herself in where a migrant can dodge deportation thanks to our own lawyers weaponising Article 8 because they 'The European Convention on Human Rights has taken the mickey for far too long and we will change the law to give primacy to our sovereign Parliament.' Under Article 8 of the ECHR, people are able to claim their right to a family or private life, which is often weaponised by left-wing lawyers fighting for asylum seekers and foreign criminals to stay in the country. The Government will instead propose a law change to give British courts primacy over ECHR rulings — but the move will require Commons legislation.
