The woman fell unconscious and was transported to the GPPOL clinic.
She was transferred to the National referral hospital for further treatment.
The Court heard the accused has reconciled with his wife and paid compensation.
Magistrate Fatimah Taebiru adjourned the case to Monday next week for sentence.
