Talaq

Under Islamic family law, a man can divorce his wife just by telling her "I divorce you" three times.

Even though India is a predominantly Hindu country, Muslims are expected, by law, to live by Islamic rules. It's a legally encoded form of multiculturalism.

This brings us to the plight of a Muslim husband in India, who accidentally divorced his wife while talking in his sleep!

Clearly this is a case of clerics gone wild. But now he can't just marry her again. He has to wait a while, or let someone else marry and divorce her first.

I hope in the future he keeps
His mouth shut when he sleeps.
