A WOMAN’S DEMAND FOR A LUXURY HOME IN MUMBAI, ₹12 CRORE AS MAINTENANCE, AND A HIGH-END BMW CAR IN A MARITAL DISPUTE DREW SHARP OBSERVATIONS FROM CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA (CJI) BR GAVAI, WHO QUESTIONED THE NEED FOR SUCH A LARGE ALIMONY, ESPECIALLY GIVEN HER QUALIFICATIONS.(PHOTO).

 


A woman’s demand for a luxury home in Mumbai, ₹12 crore as maintenance, and a high-end BMW car in a marital dispute drew sharp observations from Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai, who questioned the need for such a large alimony, especially given her qualifications.


Appearing before the Supreme Court, the woman — representing herself — stated she wanted a house in Kalpataru (a premium Mumbai location), ₹12 crore, and a BMW. The Chief Justice responded candidly, “You are an IT person. You have done your MBA. There is demand for you in Bengaluru, Hyderabad. Why don’t you work?”


He further pointed out that her 18-month-long marriage could not justify such a hefty demand, remarking, “You’re practically asking for ₹1 crore per month for each month of marriage.” When the woman defended her claim by saying her husband was wealthy and had filed for annulment on the grounds that she was schizophrenic, she asked, “Do I look schizophrenic, my lords?”


Her estranged husband’s lawyer, Senior Advocate Madhavi Divan, added that while some support may be expected, “she also has to work. Everything cannot be demanded like this.” The court also clarified that she cannot claim properties that belong to her husband’s father.


The woman claimed her husband — a former Citibank manager and businessman — forced her to quit her job. The bench reviewed his tax records, noting a drop in income after he left his job. The CJI then advised the woman to be content with the flat being offered and suggested she consider employment in cities like Pune or Bangalore, which have strong IT demand.


Closing the exchange with a strong remark, the Chief Justice said, “You are so educated. You must not depend on others, but earn your own livelihood.” The court has reserved its order in the matter.
