A social media post has recounted the experience of an IIM-A graduate who reportedly gave up a substantial portion of his salary in an attempt to save his marriage, only to eventually reach a divorce settlement after about two-and-a-half years. According to the account, the man moved from a Rs 55 lakh fixed-income job to a Rs 32 lakh role closer to home so he could spend more time with his wife.
The post, whose author described the account as a true story, said the man ultimately negotiated a Rs 10 lakh one-time settlement after his wife sought Rs 45 lakh through her lawyer. The account also claimed that he had preserved recordings of conversations during the marriage and had legal protections in place when his former wife’s lawyer allegedly threatened legal action.
