• In the wake of the suicide of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, allegedly due to harassment by his wife and in-laws for money, the Supreme Court established an eight-point guideline for determining alimony in divorce cases involving Hindu couples.
• This formula considers various factors in the context of the six-year marriage and subsequent two-decade separation between Subhash and his wife Nikita Singhania, where the husband accused the wife of extortion and the wife alleged mistreatment, as detailed in Subhash's 80-minute video and 24-page suicide note.
