Go to Bed Married, Wake up Divorced
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A Muslim couple in India has been told by local Islamic leaders they must separate after the husband "divorced" his wife in his sleep, the Press Trust of India reported.

Sohela Ansari told friends that her husband Aftab had uttered the word "talaq," or divorce, three times in his sleep, according to the report published in newspapers Monday.

When local Islamic leaders got to hear, they said Aftab's words constituted a divorce under an Islamic procedure known as "triple talaq." The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told they had to split.

Will this start a rash of divorces by women claiming to have heard the triple talaq?

I'd say it already has - since the woman didn't have to tell anyone about the guy talking in his sleep. And how wonderfully inexpensive - it cost me and my ex-husband over $2K to get divorced back in 1979.

It would almost be cheaper to have moved to an Islamic country, converted, done the triple-talaq thing, and then returned here divorced.
