I normally doesn't post any thread/comment in this forum. But A news in todays our locall news paper just bound me to post this true story. My English doesn’t allow me to write the long story. But though I have triad to translate it for you. This is (true) story of Akhtar and Sabina of Falakata village of District Jalpaiguri of W. Bengal, India. With three children they were living happy marriage life since last 11 years. Few days ago, one night Akhtar was sleeping after taking some drink and said TALAK . . TALAK .. .. TALAK …. to her wife. Her wife didn’t take it seriously, and next day she said to her neighbor. But after that the news spread in village like fire in forest. The news reached to Sariyat (Muslim Law board). Sariyat ordered them not to live together. If they live together then it will be insult of “Allahâ€. But Akhtar and Sabina doesn’t want it. According to Akhtar what he said was totally un-intentionally. They loves each other and don’t want to live separately. Sariyat have shown them a way to solve the problem. According to them Now, Sabina have to live at her father’s home for at least 3 months and 10 days. After that she have to spend a night with some other person. Then she can again marry her husband Akhatar. As I said they are not ready for it. And why should? For help they are moving door to door. Even Police and Family counseling centres are not able help them because it’s matter of religion. Even in the village no one wants talk with them. Akhtar is also not permitted to get any job in his village until he obeys the order of Sariyat. No one plays with his children. What should Akhtar and Sabina do now?

This is very sad to notice people are not changing in this HIGH TECH world . it will take them a few hundred years to change their way of thinking.
I think lack of education is the main reason. But some time even in well educated area/country have the same problem. Probably every Indian knows what happend to "Gudiya".
Im no expert on muslim religious law, but would the fact that he said it while asleep make the whole thig null and void? I mean, he was asleep, and thus not making a concious decision...
It means divorce, if the husband says that three times to her wife, it means they are no longer husband - wife.... the easiest method to get rid of an annoying wife
This is really not fair , okay according the that story it's the man who wanted to divorce his wife & now it's the wife who has to sleep with another guy!! What if she doesn't want to! Poor Sabina & poor kids... not having friends because of 3 words
