Sometimes, there comes a piece of news out of the blue that makes you hope it isn't a mirage.

A city court asked a woman to look for a job, saying she was qualified and capable and should not put financial burden on her estranged husband, a decision that could spur a debate on India’s alimony system.

His appeal pointed out that she was an MSc gold medallist. He alleged she had not applied for a job anywhere and wanted to sit idle and remain a financial burden on him.

On the woman’s submission that she had never travelled alone and wanted the man to go with her on job searches, the court said “the submission is neither palatable nor digestible”.

“Both are coming to the court separately. If she can come to the court to fight litigation alone, she can go alone to search for a job as well,” the judge observed.

The judge sounds like a man who uses common sense. Now to see if this survives the inevitable appeals process.

tl;dr: Woman files for divorce & asks for alimony. Judge tells her to spend her time looking for a job.
