Under Section 25 of the Indian Contract Act, agreements without consideration are void EXCEPT three situations: (1) natural love and affection between near relations IF in writing and registered, (2) promise to compensate for past voluntary service, (3) promise to pay a time-barred debt IF in writing. Option B (written + registered promise from husband out of natural love) perfectly fits exception (1).
