NEW DELHI

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 Islamic law, a husband need only say "I divorce you" three times to secure a permanent end to his marriage.

...

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.

to which we are outsourcing our job? Oy vey.

3. On the upside, the wife gets 100 days of "how's your father"...

...and doesn't even have to feel guilty about it.

4. Maybe she just made it up to get away for a while

and sleep with another man.

5. Elders apparently ordered her to spend a night with another

man. How on Earth do they come up with these rules?

6. Maybe the 'other man' was one of them.

This reminds me of an episode of 'Taxi' Lotka and Simpka went through a similar ritual.

Some people say religion is just a bunch of silly superstitions,
to those people I say, " Yeah, that about sums it up !"
