In a rare and widely discussed turn of events, a man managed to secure a divorce without paying a single rupee in alimony or maintenance, despite being entangled in multiple legal cases initiated by his wife. The incident came to light through a viral Reddit post by user itachi_senpai1, sparking intense online discussion.
According to the post, the man's wife had filed serious charges, including IPC Section 498A (cruelty), CrPC Section 125 (maintenance), and a domestic violence case. Rather than hiring legal representation, the man boldly chose to represent himself in court throughout the lengthy process.

After almost three years of courtroom battle, the wife's lawyer reportedly proposed a mutual divorce with zero alimony or maintenance involved.
