Viral Video: With both men and women misusing the concept of alimony and monthly maintenance received by non-working spouses, cases highlighting such misuse have only increased in the last few years. Adding another to the list, a hearing on something similar was shared on social media, which went viral for the apt judgement that was passed by the judge. The hearing in question was over a woman, Radha Munukuntla, demanding more than Rs 6 lakhs as her monthly maintenance from her husband. The hearing was reportedly held at the Karnataka High Court over financial support under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, on August 20. The woman’s demands included Rs 60,000 for food and Rs 15,000 for shopping and more.

However, the case seemingly went in the husband's favour as the judge was quick to call such demands a misuse of such rights. The judge further asked the woman to ‘earn’ if she had such needs.

As the clip went viral, it received mega support as people backed the judgement. “Please don’t tell the court that it is all a person requires. Rs 6,16,300 per month. Does anybody spend this much? A single lady for herself. If she wants to spend, let her earn. Not on the husband. You don’t have any other responsibility for the family. You don’t have to take care of the children. You want it for yourself… You should be reasonable,” the judge was heard saying to the woman’s advocate.

The video has been floating on the internet, making it go viral as people commented on the hearing. Most lauded the judge for the practical hearing and for the harsh criticism against the woman, while the rest chastised the lawyer as well, for taking up such a case.

The video was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘anujprajapati11’. The post was captioned, “Marriage is Scary Guys. The wife asks for ₹6,16,300 per month as Maintenance. The wife asked this amount for herself, she Didn’t Have Any Children. Hats off to the Judge Who Said- If she want to spend this much, let her earn, not on the husband." The video was shared yesterday and pulled 285K views from people.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Also, lawyers who accept such cases, without being mindful that this will be presented in front of a High Court Judge, don't they feel wrong? Seems like some are still unaware of the real purpose of accomplishing a law degree. Such clients shouldn't be entertained in the 1st place,” a user said.

“That approximately becomes 74 lakhs per year. Even Amazon or Microsoft don't give such high packages to their senior-level managers,” added a second person. “Hats off to the judge. Show what women empowerment is and what it is not!” commented a third person. “She came to the court asking for ₹6 Lacs #Maintenance hoping to get at least ₹5 lakh per month,” added another.
