‘His complaint mentions that they had been in a fight and signed a bond in 2014 that she would change her behaviour henceforth. However, he says that she started to do some rituals with lemons, turmeric, uncooked rice, and fire in the house and started telling him that she knew a baba (godman) who was telling her all the solutions.
