KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysian (Reuters) -- Malaysian Muslim men can divorce their wives through text messages on mobile telephones, the New Straits Times daily reported on Saturday, 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 quoted Hamid as saying, following an Islamic court decision on Thursday that ruled in favor 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.

after that some people will say that muslims are not modern. Now you have the proof that they are even more into technology than other people

Ok, so if I wanted to divorce then what's easier, the paperwork for a regular divorce or the paperwork for becoming a Muslim so I can just say,
"I divorce you. I divorce you. I divorce you."

The article doesn't mention anything about the ex-wife saying:

"I'm taking your house, I'm taking your house, I'm taking your house"

I still think the "I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you." statement should be made in public, in front of three or more witnesses. It takes far more courage/conviction to make the statement within eye sight of witnesses.
Does it count if you send copies of the SMS to a dozen close relaitves?

On average, in the US, 7.5% of all Text messages get "lost."

What if you text someone an "I divorce you" message and she never gets it?

Do they have to say "I divorce you" three times in a row? Kinda like that mirror game - "bloody mary"?

i think it was Steve Martin who said you have to knock on the door and when she answers say.. "I break with thee, I break with thee, I break with thee.." and throw dog-poopie on her shoes. I tried that once.. the results were not pretty.. her father was a large man.
