Saudi man divorces wife by text message

RIYADH (Reuters)– A Saudi man has divorced his wife by text message, a newspaper said on Thursday.

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, the 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.

I forgot that, thanks...

System of life, did Muhamamd your prophet ever kill someone, do Muslims kill each other, and do Muslims kill in the name of Allah.

This is the first system of "life" as you proclaim that has so much death!

A system of a good life like Hardhead said, if you lust woman you can have them all, four at a time if you like.

To bad this is a cardinal sin, but for Muslims heck why not, you only live once, right!

Yup. But I still don't get why it is so easy ?
You spend days to get married, right ? it is a feast for a week in some places, and then you can call it all off by a 2 sec phone call ? WOW

If "we" had the same system, there would be hours long marriages all the time and the phone lines would go Dead because of overload from people who would want a divorse on a daily basis.......
