His wife was pure evil though. How dare she look back when told not to.
She deserved to become a table condiment.
Lot's wife is a misunderstood character. She was the only decent one in the whole bunch and this is shown by her reaching a complete state of purification by becoming a pillar of salt. All of the offerings had to include a measure of salt. New born babies were rubbed with salt and oil. Salt was used as a preservative and as a instrument of purification, even turning bad water into good water.
When Lot's wife achieved a state of perfection it was symbolized by her becoming a pillar of salt. She was spared the debauchery of Lot and his skanky daughters. While the story might make it seem that she was punished she was actually rewarded and the salt symbolism indicates that she had achieved perfection.
