Social
media users are seeing a video of a
karnataka High
court judge being horrified by a wife's demand for ₹6,16,000 a month from her husband. The woman's attorney attempted to defend her expenses before the judge, but was chastised for providing inflated numbers. Journalist
deepika Narayan Bhardwaj put up the wife's demands in a tweet. The woman is requesting ₹4-5 lacs for physiotherapy and knee discomfort, according to the
court video. ₹15,000 for clothing and shoes, ₹60,000 for meals used in the house, and several thousand more for eating out.
The woman's requests were called into doubt by the court. The
court even advises the attorney, "If she wants to spend, let her earn," in a rather funny turn of events. Instead of providing these "lacs of figure," the judge urged the woman to provide real figures from the attorney. The
karnataka High
court correctly points out the flagrant abuse of Section 24. The HC
court continues, "Granting 6,16,000 is not a punishment to the
husband if he is having a dispute with his wife."

people asked what a single lady without children needs ₹6 lacs for, echoing the judge's statement. Several commenters commended the female judge for making the right decision rather than caving in to the woman's demands.
