The Supreme Court has fixed a lump sum alimony of ₹8 lakh in a matrimonial dispute where the wife had sought Rs. 20 lakh from her estranged husband, a Zomato delivery boy.

The Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and K.V. Viswanathan questioned the wife, a graduate, on her demand. “Who asked you to seek ₹20 lakh?”

The woman responded that she wished to pursue further studies and that her husband was not working properly with Zomato.

Justice Pardiwala, however, remarked, “Dekhiye, ye saudabazi achi nahi. Ek saal mein shaadi khatam ho gayi” (See, such bargaining is not good. The marriage ended within a year).

Taking into account the circumstances, the court ruled that ₹8 lakh would be a fair settlement.
