Apart from walking and talking, scientists learned people can eat in their sleep. Then they learned people have s.e.x in their sleep. Now we learn people apparently can legally terminate their marriages in their sleep.
Village elders have ordered a Muslim man in eastern India to leave his wife of 11 years after he accidentally divorced her in his sleep, a news report said Tuesday.
The man uttered the Urdu word for divorce, "talaq," three times in his sleep. Muslim leaders in the couple's village found out and decreed that the husband's unconscious utterances constituted a divorce.
Under Islamic law, a husband need only say "I divorce you" three times to secure a permanent dissolution to his marriage.
The sleeptalker says he had no intention of leaving his wife. Unfortunately, should the couple wish to remarry, they must be apart for at least 100 days, and the wife would also have to spend a night with another man and then be divorced by him, say the religious leaders."
I just want to know who heard him say it?
Maybe it was the guy who gets to spend a night with the woman before he hands her back?
