KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian Muslim men can divorce their wives through text messages on mobile telephones, the New Straits Times daily reported, quoting a religious adviser to the government.

Hamid Othman, adviser to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, said divorce via SMS or short messaging service was in accordance with sharia law if it was clear and unambiguous.

"SMS is just another form of writing," the daily quoted Hamid as saying, following an Islamic court decision Thursday that ruled in favor of a man who served divorce on his wife using SMS.

Islamic law permits a man to divorce his wife by declaring "I divorce you" three times.

Seems rather too easy for Malaysian Muslim men to get out of their responsabilities doesn't it.

What is the requirement in other Muslim countries?

But nobody asked, what happens if she throws it on the ground and stomps on it before #3 comes through....

Or better yet, what if she hands it to her married friend and says "I think this is for you"....

Seems there might be trouble with this situation LOL
