An Indian couple in the village of Falataka are having troubles with their marriage. You tell yourself, what else is new?The husband in question had uttered the word "divorce" or Talaq three times in his sleep. According to the local Muslim
(mis)leaders of that particular village, the sleepy utterances are enough to dissolve their marriage.
Perhaps husbands in India will go to bed wearing a mouth covering from now on?...Unless of course they really wanna get divorced. If that's the case they simply have to say; "meri jaan (my dear), I didn't mean what I said but, the Molvis (imams) said that we are divorced and we have to follow what they say".
The interesting thing in this case was that the wife herself said she heard him utter the words three times in his sleep.
"Allah himself has joined us," Aftab said, according to an official at the center. "My wife may have mistakenly heard me shouting talaq. I don't remember uttering it."
Tsk Tsk, poor Aftab. Amnesia can be such a tough thing.
However Zafaryab Jilani, of the influential All India Muslim Personal Law Board, has said the pronouncement of talaq must be intentional.
Duh! Once again the Muslim (mis)leaders forgot the whole "Action is based on intention" part. My my, must have slipped their minds.

Its just ridiculous how some molvis interpret islamic law. I mean what the hell is this telling the couple they are divorced because the husband uttered the words in his sleep, he doesnt even remember doing it.
Well that is one of the reasons why Islam has such a messed up image across the world. People read and hear about such cases, and mind you, they are absurd but not at all unique.
Still, one has to laugh at it all. It's a mad mad world.
I agree, although if someone is muttering "divorce" repeatedly in his sleep, it could be a clue that the marriage has problems.
Lol indeed elizabeth. I would say it means something... but then again, if we were to be held accountable for all we think, and dream, well I suppose most marriages wouldn't last a day then.
I tell you, fictional stories don't need to be made up. Just take one look around at the world, wouldn't you say?
I think what bothers me most about this, is the fact that EVEN if they wanted to enforce the talaaq while he was asleep... It's Haraam and not counted when talaaq is uttered three times in a row... But they've gone and stated she must remarry and then divorce before the couple can get back together. Common knowledge of Islam was simply ignored...
Shocking.
Like your sarcasm :) nice blog. will come back.
Welcome Tainted and Fouad! :)
Tainted, I believe common knowledge and common sense were both ignored. And we are reminded that they are not so common after all. Frustrating...
Fouad, you are welcome back anytime :)

someone should tell them to 'never take wisdom from the fool's mouth'
Stupid woman! She should count her blessings. She is getting a little MAMBO no 5 legally. Then she can go back to her buddha.
