What really happened:

  • The Supreme Court heard a case involving an 18-month marriage, where the woman (an engineer with an MBA who had worked in IT) demanded ₹12 crore as alimony, plus a BMW car and a luxury flat in Mumbai. The Economic TimesThe Times of IndiaThe Economic Times
  • The court was critical of these demands, especially considering her educational background and ability to earn a living. Chief Justice Gavai reportedly asked, "Why don't you work?" and reminded her of her qualifications and employability. Hindustan TimesThe Economic TimesThe Economic Times
  • Ultimately, the court rejected the ₹12 crore demand and the BMW. Instead, invoking its powers under Article 142, the court dissolved the marriage and ordered the husband to gift a flat in Mumbai worth ₹4 crore as a one-time alimony settlement. The Times of IndiaThe Economic TimesOutlook Money
  • The court also dismissed her reliance on the husband’s LinkedIn profile as proof of his income, calling it not credible. Outlook MoneyBar and Bench - Indian Legal news

Summary:

  • Demand was real: ₹12 crore, BMW, and luxury flat.
  • Court’s stance: Demands were excessive; the woman was capable of self-support.
  • Final outcome: Marriage dissolved; she received a ₹4 crore flat instead—no ₹12 crore, no car.
