Karnataka Woman Wanted Rs 6.16 Lakh In Alimony Per Month. Court Said...

Part of the alimony demand, reports said, included Rs 4-5 lakh for medical bill, which includes physiotherapy for knee pain attributed to the ex-husband's "negligence".

A woman's demand for Rs 6.16 lakh per month in alimony - including Rs 60,000 for monthly expenses (and a separate amount for dining expenses), Rs 50,000 in legal fees, Rs 15,000 to buy clothes - was knocked back Wednesday by a single-judge bench of the Karnataka High Court.

In a widely-shared video recording of court proceedings Justice Lalitha Kanneganti refused the request, and told the woman's counsel, "If she wants to spend (this much money), let her earn."

According to Bar and Bench the woman wanted more than the Rs 50,000 she is receiving now.
