her husband was having an illicit relationship and when she confronted him, he threatened her with divorce and shifted to a hotel.
He left her with no option but to return alone to her matrimonial house in Noida where she has been living separately from the family since then, she said.
She also claimed that her husband is drawing Rs six lakh monthly salary besides free accomodation whereas she is confined at home due to her ill-health.
The husband on the other hand denied having neglected her ever.
