| SC slams woman for demanding extravagant alimony |
India’s Supreme Court on Monday reportedly rebuked a woman making extravagant demands on her estranged husband and asked her to work and earn for herself, as she is qualified.
In yet another marriage dispute going viral, a techie approached the apex court demanding a luxury flat in Mumbai, ₹12 crore in maintenance, and a high-end BMW from her estranged husband, as alimony.
However, Chief Justice of India B R Gavai described her demand as ‘excessive’ and reportedly said, “You are an IT person. You have done your MBA. You are in demand in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Why don’t you work?”
SC noted that she was married to him for 18 months and is practically seeking alimony of ₹1 crore for every month of her 18-month marriage, by demanding the BMW car.
The judge reportedly said Aap itni padi likhi hai. "Aapko khudko mangna nahi chahiye aur khudko kama ke khana chahiye," the chief justice said. The order has been reserved.
In her defence, the woman cited her husband’s wealth and accused him of “abandoning her unfairly”, as per reports. According to her, his husband called her schizophrenic. She also said that it was her husband who forced her to quit her previous job.
After going through the husband’s IT returns, the court found that his income had declined after he quit his job. The CJI then told the woman to “be satisfied” with the flat and take up a “good job”.
The judge also said that she could find a decent job in IT cities like Pune, Hyderabad, and Bangalore.
