^ Talaq (divorce) is basically when a man tells his wife "I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you" and bam she's divorced, and has 3 months to get her arse out. No explanation or grounds or paperwork needed. Some Islamic authorities have said "text message" talaqs are valid, as are drunken talaqs and I once read a case about a talaq uttered in sleep being upheld as valid, and the couple being forced to split.
If a woman wants a divorce, it's not even called a divorce, and it's a whole fucking process I can't be bothered typing out…
thats really sad... it happened to my cousin -a devoted wife, married to a devoted man living in canada - he divorced her by phone... and he took 'advantage' i believe of the islamic divorce system- they way he did it was so bad that it caused almost a war between two families.... now her brothers and her male relatives are hunting for the husband, they want to kill him. (serves him right if you ask me) let them kill him.
Her divorce has made her aware how little rights she has under this islam law.
