It is, I think I read about it way earlier in this thread but India introduced some new laws a few years ago, one of which is similar to no-fault divorce while the other protects abused wives. The new scam uses the latter law, if it's "proven" that the wife was abused, she takes half his shit and also can take alimony payments. I put proven in quotes because what often happens is that the wife's family (and of course the wife herself) traps some rich sucker or one with a good job into marriage, then she accuses him of spousal abuse, with her family being the witnesses, and she then takes half his shit. Divorce rates are still quite low in India but there's been a notable spike ever since that law has passed and you can expect it to happen more often given how easily it is abused.
EDIT: I found the post that talks about it, it's the second part of
this post.
