Karnataka High Court Judge criticises unreasonable alimony demand in viral video
Bengaluru: A Karnataka High Court judge's remarks on an alimony petition have sparked widespread discussion on social media. The judge questioned the petitioner’s demand for a monthly alimony of ₹6,16,300, calling it excessive and unreasonable.
During the hearing, the judge expressed disbelief at the amount requested, stating, "Does anybody spend this much? A single lady for herself?" The judge further added, "If she wants to spend, let her earn. Not on the husband," and advised the woman’s advocate to explain that such demands are unreasonable.
The judge highlighted that the petitioner had no other family responsibilities and noted that alimony should not serve as a punishment for the husband.
The judge’s stance was widely praised online, with the video of the exchange garnering over 2 million views. Social media users lauded the judge’s approach, with one person commenting, "Once again female judges showing the way with right questions and correct judgments!" Another user suggested that the judge has potential to be a future Chief Justice of India.
Author Isha Singla also weighed in on the matter, questioning the justification for such a high alimony demand, especially when it included questionable expenses like a gold loan.
