"Beep beep: You've got a message ... and a divorce

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian Muslim men can divorce their wives through text messages on mobile telephones, the New Straits Times daily reports, quoting a religious adviser to the government.


Hamid Othman, adviser to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, said divorce via SMS or short messaging service was in accordance with sharia law if it was clear and unambiguous.


"SMS is just another form of writing," the daily on Saturday quoted Hamid as saying, following an Islamic court decision on Thursday that ruled in favour of a man who served divorce on his wife using SMS.


Islamic law permits a man to divorce his wife by declaring "I divorce you" three times. "

in the US, thousands of teenage relationships end over cellphones and internet messaging services every day. It's only proper that the real thing work the same way.

But seriously, man, that's just weak. If you don't have the balls to do it in person, god help you

It's also cheaper to do it in person, text messages cost money!

I wonder if a muslem woman can divorce her man via text message?

lost at sea...

Hmmm, it would be fun to ignore the 'dump' message and just turn up at your girlfriends as normal and 'play dumb' just to see her reaction, she would then have to tell you face to face, but as you knew what was coming you could at least get some revenge through her discomfort!

oh the possibilities....

you get the message, so you ignore it like glyn says, then borrow a ring and turn up at her place, suited and booted, get down on one knee and...

oh, the guilt you could start...

But what if she said 'YES' !!!

Women can go all irrational at the sight of a ring!

If you then confessed it was a setup she could sue you for breach of promise, or emotional distress or something (so keep that dump txt as evidence in your favour!)
