A Delhi court has dismissed a woman's plea for interim monetary maintenance in a matrimonial dispute, highlighting tendencies for inflated claims in such cases.

The court, led by Judicial Magistrate Pooja Yadav, heard the plea under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act against the petitioner's husband.

The court noted the petitioner, a law graduate with previous employment, did not provide evidence of her inability to work. Without compelling unemployment reasons, the court deemed the petitioner capable of self-sustenance, reserving final judgment for post-trial.
