However, after moving out, he had begged her to go back for the sake of their four-year old daughter. She agreed, but on the condition that he cooked for her, massaged her feet and did all the washing up.
Their arrangement didn't last long as the in-laws soon found out and tried to stop it.
Her friend, Alia Kohli said "He seemed fine with it but they went mental and accused her of treating him like a slave," adding that "Rekha is strong-minded and likes to be independent and the thought of being dictated to by his parents was just too much for her."
"So I guess that's when she decided to start doing what she did, and urinating in their tea," she informed.
The shocked and disgusted mother-in-law said "we used to go and visit them once or twice a week. And although we knew she didn't like us, we had no idea she was doing this. She always smiled and offered us tea and we accepted."
The mother-in-law revealed that "one day I went into the kitchen and found her urinating into the teapot."

"You cannot urinate into someone's tea for a year and get away with it. We want justice," said her father-in-law.
Rekha and her husband Deepak are now understood to be living apart.
