For those that want to avoid the confrontation of a mean and nasty divorce, you can now get it done through a simple text message. In Malaysia they have now made it valid to divorce your spouse through a text message. The government's adviser on religious affairs, Mahathir Mohammed, says along as the message is clear and unambiguous, it is valid under Islamic Sharia Law. Dr Abdul Hamid Othman, of New Straits Times daily newspaper, said that "SMS is just another form of writing." That why it is legible to do it this way as well. The man who first sent the text message, Mr. Shamsudin sent the message saying, "If you do not leave your parents' house, you'll be divorced." Just as quickly as it was sent, the marriage had been annulled. It may seem very brief, but even in Islamic religion, a man can say "talaq" (I divorce you) three times and the couple will be divorced. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3100143.stm
