"I was working in the farm when the incident took place," the woman told the Times of India.
"Fortunately I returned home in the nick of time and caught him red-handed.
"I brought a knife from the kitchen and chopped off his private parts to teach him a lesson. I have no regrets for what I did."
The man is reportedly in critical condition and has been referred for specialist treatment in Lucknow, the largest city in Uttar Pradesh. According to police, he has also been arrested on suspicion of rape. Meanwhile, it is currently unclear as to whether the mother will receive any charges.
"The 32-year-old accused has been booked under section 376 rape of IPC and the POCSO act," explained Lakhimpur police officer Chandrashekhar Singh.
It's believed that the mother had been living with her boyfriend for around two years prior to the incident after she had left the husband of her daughter due to his drinking problems.
According to reports, a similar incident took place in May earlier this year, when a 22-year-old woman allegedly attempted to castrate her mother's partner.
