The religious leaders ruled that if the couple wanted to remarry they would have to wait at least 100 days. Sohela would also have to spend a night with another man and be divorced by him in turn.

What a crazy religion - and all about sex

Sounds like he had the actus reus (commision of the act) but not necessarily the mens rea (intent), but perhaps Shariah doesn't require intent, just the formality.

If Aftab decided not to remarry her she would then be an adulterer and subject to the tender mercies of the religion of peace. What a crock of brown stuff.

On teh other hand, women who are married to brutal husbands now only need to claim the hubby did the same in his sleep.

Now if the second man divorces her, would she not have to sleep with another man who would also have to divorce her and so on and so forth?

This is starting to look like that "put a mirror in front of a mirror" thing....

"Sohela Ansari told friends that her husband Aftab had uttered the word "talaq", or divorce, three times in his sleep,"

"Unless divorce fits into HER plans..."

He need ever have actually utters the words, she needs only say that he did, and there she there she has it - instant divorce.

Imagine if it were that easy here!

Wasn't this a Steve Martin routine?

First you say:

I break with thee
I break with thee
I break with thee

And then throw dog poop on her shoes.
