Man Accidentally Divorces Wife in Sleep
1 hour, 50 minutes ago
NEW DELHI -- Village elders ordered a Muslim man in eastern India to leave
his wife after he accidentally divorced her in his sleep, a news report said
Tuesday.
Aftab Ansari uttered the Urdu word for divorce, "talaq," three times in his
sleep, prompting his worried wife to discuss the matter with her friends,
according to the Press Trust of India news agency.
Under A WACKJOB INTERPRETATION OF Islamic law THAT IS FOLLOWED IN ONLY A FEW
REGIONS, a husband need only say "I divorce you" three times to secure a
permanent end to his marriage.
Muslim leaders in the couple's village in West Bengal state found out and
decreed that Ansari's unconscious utterances constituted a divorce, PTI
reported.
But 30-year-old Ansari said he had no intention of leaving his wife of 11
years.
"I have not given talaq. When I uttered talaq three times I had taken
medicines to help me sleep," he was quoted as saying in the report.
The religious leaders said that before remarrying, the couple would have to
be apart for at least 100 days and that the wife, Sohela, would also have to
spend a night with another man and then be divorced by him.
PTI reported that the couple has been ostracized because of their refusal to
abide by the decision of the village leaders.
