Mr. Prabhakar suggested rightly. She also can file a case u/s 125 Cr.p.c. if she is not working anywhere, & on behalf of kids as well, if any. If she has sufficient proofs that her husband has illicit relations with some other lady, she can file a case of divorce on this sole ground within the territorial jurisdiction where she would reside alingwith her parents.
