SC Asks MBA Grad Demanding Alimony: 'Why Not Work?'
A woman with an MBA is asking her ex-husband for a lot of money and a place to live after their short marriage.
The court is asking why she doesn't work since she has a degree and experience.
The ex-husband claimed she had a mental illness when they were getting divorced.
He also said her requests were too high.
The court then suggested two options: get the apartment or take some cash.
An MBA graduate demanded ₹12 crore and a Mumbai flat in alimony from her ex-husband.
The Supreme Court questioned the woman's demand, given the short marriage duration.
The woman stated her husband sought annulment, alleging mental illness.
The husband's lawyer argued the demands were excessive, given the woman's education.
The Supreme Court offered the woman a flat or a ₹4 crore settlement.
