A woman, professionally qualified with an engineering degree and an MBA, reportedly received ₹20 lakh alimony from her first marriage. Her second marriage lasted merely 18 months, and yet it has resulted in a staggering legal dispute. Allegedly, she not only separated from her second husband but also took control of his flat in Mumbai—an upscale property valued between ₹5 to ₹6 crore—and began residing there with her parents, effectively evicting the man from his own home.

The woman’s demands did not end with the occupation of the flat. Reports suggest that she claimed ₹12 crore in settlement, along with ownership of the property and a luxury bmw car. What has shocked many is the outcome of the case, with the supreme court reportedly awarding her the flat and suggesting—albeit sarcastically or otherwise—that the husband should also provide two BMWs. Critics are calling this a mockery of justice, questioning whether such judgments set dangerous precedents that may be exploited in future matrimonial disputes.

This incident has triggered heated discussions about the state of matrimonial laws in India, especially regarding alimony, property rights, and gender parity in divorce settlements. While laws are designed to protect the vulnerable, the public outcry in this case points to a growing concern that the system may sometimes be manipulated. Many feel that the judiciary needs to balance empathy with evidence and fairness—especially in high-value urban disputes where legal strategies often overshadow ethical considerations.
