In the Nepalese language (Nepali),the word "patni" is a noun meaning
"wife, better half, married woman."
I found this information in an on-line Nepali-English dictionary at
the following site:
Nepal Research
http://nepalresearch.com/
At the Nepal Research home page, click on the link for "Dictionaries:
"Nepali-English" and scroll through the alphabetized word list to
"patni." The dictionary is a PDF file, so you must access it with
Acrobat Reader, which, if it is not installed on your computer, can be
downloaded at no cost from adobe.com here:

"Patni" also means wife in other languages spoken in the Indian
subcontinent, including Hindi and Gujarati:

If any of the above needs clarification, I would be happy to provide
it.
