Divorcing people while asleep

This is really funny:

A Muslim couple in India have been told by local Islamic leaders that they must separate after the husband “divorced” his wife in his sleep.The Press Trust of India said in a report published on Monday that Sohela Ansari had told friends that her husband Aftab had uttered the word “talaq”, or divorce, three times in his sleep.When local Islamic leaders heard about the incident, they said Aftab’s words constituted a divorce under an Islamic procedure known as “triple talaq”.

The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told that they had to split.

The religious leaders ruled that if the couple wanted to remarry they would have to wait at least 100 days.Sohela would also have to spend at least a night with another man and be divorced by him.

The couple, who live in the eastern state of West Bengal, have refused to obey the order, and the issue has been referred to a local family counselling centre.

Hehehehee

    There was another case where a Pakistani guy working in Saudi Arabia divorced his wife who was still living in Pakistan, over the phone. He calls her up from Riyadh and discovers that she fought with his Mom or something, so he divorces her on the phone!

    hey that can be a good excuse when a woman wants to divorce her husband, she can say:” he divorced me while he was sleeping” he can’t prove she’s wrong.

    well, basically the azhar disallowed such divorces, meaning even if a guy says “talek bel talata” it still counts as one to prevent emotional decsions and perserve families with assholes for parents who like to divorce a lot or threaten to.

    i agree that these guys are GALACTICALLY STUPID

    A Triple Talaq?! I haven’t seen one of those since Lake Placid in 1980.

    Sohela would also have to spend at least a night with another man and be divorced by him.

    The guys hanging with Mohammed must have been laughing their asses off when he wrote this one.

    I say the wife had the hots for a family friend .. a chief in the neighbourhood restaurant who makes a mean chicken tandoori ..
    she comes up with the story of the the triple talaq
    noone can prove her wrong
    the chief will step up .. being the true family friend he is .. he’ll heartfully accept to marry his best buddy’s ex wife
    as i am posting now they’re probably eating chicken skin and licking curry sauce off of each other
    and all in the name of being good muslims
