The couple has been married for 10 years and have th♚ree children.
The man said that he had been ailing𝓀 for some time and his wife approached the 'tantrik' who asked her to make her husband eat only the laddoos.
Officials at the family counselling centre were puzzled over📖 the pretext for seeꦓking divorce.
"We can call the couple for counselling, but we can not treat the woman for being superstitious. She firmly b🏅elieves that the laddoos will cure her husband and is unwilling to accept otherwise," said a counsellor.
