Wife Recovers ₹25 Crore from Husband's Mistress
A woman named Shen found out after her husband Jin died that he had been giving a lot of money to another woman, Tao, for seven years.
This money was part of their shared property, and Shen didn't know about it.
She went to court to get the money back.
The court said Jin shouldn't have given away so much money without Shen's permission.
They made Tao give back the money.
Tao tried to fight this, but the court said no, and she has to return the rest of the money.
People online were happy with the decision because they think it's fair and shows that cheating and taking someone else's money is wrong.
Shen discovered her husband Jin had a seven-year affair and transferred ₹25 crore to his mistress Tao.
The court ruled that Jin had no right to give away shared marital property without Shen's consent.
Tao was ordered to return the money, and she has already returned ₹7 crore.
The court dismissed Tao's appeal, upholding the original verdict.
The decision was widely supported on social media, with many praising the court's stance on public morals.
