She pleaded the reason being her husband was living in adultery with a girl and hence it was he who initially did not consummate the marriage,&#8221; the high court observed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The version of the wife that her husband had an adulterous relationship has not been made good by her during her evidence.
