Divorces in parallel line with weddings have been a major issue at the current time. While as of 2025, the divorce rate in India is reportedly 1 per cent, which is relatively lower than other countries, significant increases could be noticed by 30-40 per cent in urban areas. Along with divorce, comes another major topic, alimony. Alimony is court-ordered financial support that one spouse has to provide to the other during the divorce or separation for maintenance.
Karnataka-based female judge gave it back to a woman who requested Rs. 6 lakh per month from her estranged husband
Alimony has been extensively discussed due to its misuse. A few months ago, a Bengaluru-based techie, Atul Subhash took the extreme step of suicide because of the pressure heived upon him for the alimony, which raised the question about men’s lives and safety as well. In this particular case, a judge was dragged as well for her demand of a bribe. Amid alimony being a hot topic of discussion, an old video of a Karnataka judge made rounds on social media. It was her straightforward reply to a demand of Rs. 6 lakh monthly alimony of a wife that won hearts.
