A Karnataka High Court judge dismissed a woman’s plea for ₹6 lakh per month as alimony from her ex-husband, questioning the necessity of such a large sum. The judge found the amount unreasonable and suggested that if the woman wanted to spend that much, she could start earning herself.
During the court proceedings, the woman’s advocate argued that she needed ₹4-5 lakh monthly for medical expenses, plus additional amounts for personal items and food.

The judge’s stance was widely praised on social media, where a video of the hearing has gained significant attention.
