Supreme Court Rejects High Alimony Demand, Cites LinkedIn's Unreliability
A woman asked for a lot of money, a BMW, and a house, after her divorce.
The court said no because she already had a settlement.
The court also stated that she could not use her ex-husband's LinkedIn profile to show how much money he made because it was not reliable.
The court gave her a house in Mumbai.
She is also educated and has worked, so she does not need more money.
Supreme Court rejected a woman's ₹12 crore alimony demand.
Court stated LinkedIn profiles are unreliable for proving income in alimony cases.
The court granted the woman a Mumbai flat as alimony.
The husband's income decreased significantly from his previous job.
