I WANT A DIVORCE ! Man Dumps Woman Via Text!
Updated : Apr 16, 2009
Very Happy Pig remembers a time before mobile phones.
It was a happy time, but we have to admit despite the fact we are now always contactable for Mrs VHP mobile phones have proved very handy.
VeryHappyPig is a particular fan of the text message, what it can do and how it has revolutionised life.
Text has allowed us to communicate with out having to talk with someone, which is always handy in sticky situations.
A Saudi man is obviously of the same opinion as Very happy Pig as he used a text to avoid an obvious tongue whipping from his wife and divorced her via a message.
The man was in Iraq when he sent the SMS informing her she was no longer his spouse. He followed up with a telephone call to two of his relatives, a daily Arab News reported.
A court in the Red Sea city of Jeddah finalised the split, the first known divorce in Saudi Arabia by text message, after summoning the two relatives to check they had received word of the husband's intention, the paper said.
Saudi Arabia practises a strict form of Islamic Sharia law, and clerics preside over Sharia courts as judges. Under the law a man can divorce his wife by saying "I divorce you" three times.
The Saudi man was in Iraq to participate in "what he described as 'jihad'," according to the Arab News. Many Saudis have gone to fight with al Qaeda militants against the Iraqi government and U.S. forces.
