No Alimony, No Maintenance: Man Divorces Wife On ‘Own Terms' Without Advocate Aid
Initially, the wife demanded a settlement of Rs 70 lakh, which was reduced to Rs 35 lakh within a year.
A man evaded paying alimony to his ex-wife and fought multiple legal cases filed by her successfully, that too without hiring a lawyer. If that sounds like a made-up story to you, then you would be shocked to know that it happened in reality. A Reddit post, documenting how the man got a divorce on his own terms, has grabbed the attention of social media users. The person's story was recounted by one of his friends on the platform.
As per the post, the man and his parents were falsely accused of charges under three legal sections. They were 498A (cruelty by husband or relatives), Domestic Violence, and CrPC 125 (maintenance claim). 'My guy jumped into the Legal Arena Party-In-Person, i.e., represented himself instead of hiring an advocate and got both DV and 125 dismissed without getting any maintenance order," read the statement from his friend.
Initially, the wife demanded a settlement of Rs 70 lakh, which was reduced to Rs 35 lakh within a year. 'My guy laughed so hard in mediation on hearing Rs 35 lakh that his wife instantly dropped to Rs 30 lakh. He still laughed hard and gave a counteroffer of 1 lakh," added the note. After three years, the lawyers of the man's former wife approached him 'for MCD (Mutual Consent Divorce) for zero alimony, which he graciously accepted."
The man also 'rejected all drafts of MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) from his wife's side and drafted his own MoU and MCD Petition", finally getting a divorce as per his terms and conditions. The post ended with the revelation that after the divorce was granted, he threw a party for his friends and co-workers.
Social Media Users React
Redditors had much to say about the viral post.
One user called the man 'Johnny Depp of India."
Another found the chain of events 'damn crazy."
One person urged the man to 'file a defamation case against the ex-wife."
'I am more surprised that the court allowed it," admitted an individual.
'That is a real flex," read an encouraging remark.

Maharashtra Teen Jumps To Death From Hill As Mother Refuses To Buy Phone
A 16-year-old boy jumped to death from a hill in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Sunday after his mother refused to buy him a mobile phone. The boy, identified as Atharva Gopal Tayde, was asking his mother to buy him a phone for days. However, she refused every time. Atharva was preparing for the police recruitment examination, officials said. On Sunday, Atharva asked his mother again to buy a phone. But when his mother refused, he went to a hill in Tisgaon and jumped. Locals immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Maharashtra witnessed a similar incident last year when a 15-year-old boy died by suicide after his mother refused to get him a mobile phone on his birthday. The boy, Vishwajeet Ramesh Chamdanwale, died at his house while his mother and sister were asleep, officials said. In July last year, an 18-year-old boy died by suicide in Navi Mumbai after his father did not buy him an expensive iPhone. According to his father, the boy wanted an iPhone costing about Rs 1.5 lakh. When his father bought him a low-cost Vivo phone, he got depressed.

Voter IDs, Chocolates: Probe Report Cites Clear Evidence Of Pahalgam Attackers' Pakistani Origins
The findings are based on a combination of forensic, digital, and testimonial evidence gathered during and after Operation Mahadev, the July 28 encounter. A recent investigative report released by Indian security agencies offers conclusive evidence that the perpetrators of the April 22 Pahalgam massacre — where 26 tourists were gunned down in Baisaran Valley — were Pakistani nationals affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The findings are based on a combination of forensic, digital, and testimonial evidence gathered during and after Operation Maadev, the July 28 encounter. The three terrorists — Suleman Shah (alias Faizal Jatt), Abu Hamza (alias 'Afghan"), and Yasir (alias 'Jibran") — were all high-ranking LeT commanders. None were local Kashmiris, as initially speculated based on preliminary sketches released after the massacre. These sketches were later discredited and linked to an unrelated December 2024 incident. Recovered evidence paints a detailed picture. Two of the assailants carried Pakistani voter ID cards with serials tied to electoral rolls in Lahore and Gujranwala. A micro-SD card retrieved from a damaged satellite phone contained NADRA biometric data, confirming their Pakistani citizenship and addresses in Kasur district and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Personal items like Pakistani-manufactured chocolates further corroborated their origin, with lot numbers traceable to consignments shipped to Muzaffarabad in 2024. Their infiltration route was tracked via intercepted radio signals dating back to May 2022, when they crossed the LoC near Gurez. They were later sheltered in a seasonal hut near Pahalgam by two locals — Parvaiz and Bashir Ahmad Jothar — who later confessed to aiding them. GPS data from one attacker's Garmin device and call logs from a Huawei satellite phone established their movements and linkages to operational control in Pakistan. Forensic analysis also confirmed the ballistics match between shell casings found at the massacre site and three AK-103 rifles recovered after the attackers were killed on July 28 in the Dachigam-Harwan forest belt. The report also ties the attack to LeT's command structure in Pakistan. Sajid Saifullah Jatt, LeT's south Kashmir operations chief, was identified as the key handler based in Lahore. Additionally, Rizwan Anees from Rawalkot coordinated posthumous funeral prayers in PoK for the slain terrorists. Described as the most conclusive dossier to date, this evidence package was tabled in Parliament by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on July 29, who stated, 'For the first time we have government-issued Pakistani documents in hand that nail the nationality of the Pahalgam attackers beyond doubt." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Would you worship Bhagwa terrorist?': Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand says 'don't link terrorism with colour'; questions failure to find Malegaon blast culprits
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand NEW DELHI: The debate over the use of the term 'Saffron Terror', that resumed after the July 31 verdict in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, has refused to die down. Commenting on the term, Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati Maharaj said that colour should not be linked with terrorism. He said those who associate a colour with terrorism are supporting terrorism. The Shankaracharya said, "A terrorist is a does colour mean with the word terrorism? Terrorism is terrorism, and a zero-tolerance policy should be adopted against it... The Malegaon blast happened, but you could not find the person who committed who look for colours in terrorism are supporters of terrorism." The term 'Bhagwa Aatank' or 'saffron terrorism' was first used after the 2002 Gujarat riots, as per a report by the news agency ANI. It was later used again after the 2008 Malegaon blasts. Some political leaders and parties used the term in their statements. The term was also mentioned by then home minister P Chidambaram in an official meeting with police officials. Congress leader Digvijay Singh also used the term in reference to the blasts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The Hindu pontiff also raised questions as to why the government is still unable to catch the culprits of the Malegaon blast case. "We do not wish to comment on the court's proceedings; whatever was done in court, we believe, must have been correct. If these people were found innocent in the court's view, then it is right they were acquitted. But the bigger problem is that the blast did not happen on its own — someone must have done it. Who was it? Where is the Government of India, the state government failing, that someone comes, carries out a blast, and leaves, and despite having vast resources and plenty of time, we are still unable to catch the culprit? This is a big slap on our capability that we cannot apprehend the guilty," he said. On July 31, a special NIA court in Mumbai acquitted all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. The court said that the prosecution could not prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The court also directed the Maharashtra government to pay Rs 2 lakh compensation to the families of the people who died in the blast, and Rs 50,000 to those who were injured. The seven accused were former MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, retired Major Ramesh Upadhyay, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, Ajay Rahirkar, Sudhankar Dhar Dwivedi (also known as Shankaracharya), and Sameer Kulkarni. "All bail bonds of the accused are cancelled and sureties are discharged," the court said. The court examined 323 witnesses from the prosecution and eight from the defence before giving the verdict. All seven were acquitted of charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the Arms Act, and other related charges. The blast occurred on September 29, 2008, near a mosque in Bhikku Chowk area of Malegaon. An explosive device placed on a motorcycle went off, killing six people and injuring 95 others. Initially, 11 people were named as accused, but charges were framed against seven. The lawyer representing the victims' families has said that he will challenge the acquittal in the high court. Earlier, on the eve of the judgment in the Malegaon blast case, Union home minister Amit Shah had said in Parliament that no Hindu can ever be a terrorist. "I am proud to say, no Hindu can ever be a terrorist," Shah had said in Rajya Sabha. Meanwhile, after the NIA court judgment, former Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan also spoke on the matter last week and said that he does not support the use of the term "saffron terror." "Don't use the term 'Saffron terrorism'. If you want to describe such acts, use 'Hindu fundamentalist' or 'Hindu terrorism' instead."
