PER CURIAM:
Defendant's assignment of error No. 3 must be sustained. G.S. § 50-16 does not authorize the judge, in passing on a motion for alimony pendente lite, to award a wife subsistence and counsel fees merely because she and her husband have separated. A wife who has abandoned her husband without just cause or who, by her wrongful conduct has forced him to leave home, has no right to alimony. Reece v. Reece,
