Muslim man told Skype divorce joke stands
Daily Telegraph ^ | Oct 29th 2010 | Dean Nelson

Posted on 10/29/2010 10:10:57 AM PDT by Cardhu

A Muslim man who told his wife "I divorce thee" three times in an online Skype messenger conversation has been told the separation stands.

The ruling, made in an online fatwa by the Darul Uloom Deobandi seminary in northern India, regarded as one of Islam's leading authorities on religious law said that the woman would have to first marry another man before she could remarry her first husband.

The man, from Qatar, wrote to the seminary following his Skype joke to seek clarification.

"Jokingly typed 'talak, talak, talak' (I divorce thee, I divorce thee, I divorce thee) to my wife on Skype chat. I don't understand Islam very much and did not know about how talaq works. We love each other very much and want to be together but right now [we are] caught in this thing. Want to know a way out," he wrote.

His hopes of a "way out" were dashed when the seminary issued a fatwa confirming his wife must first remarry another man, consummate the marriage, and then divorce him before she could be allowed to remarry her first husband.

"When you gave three talaqs, your wife became "haram" (forbidden) for you. Neither you have the right to take her back nor solemnise a new "nikah" (marriage) without a valid "halalah" (second marriage). After the completion of "iddah" (a three month waiting period following a divorce), the woman can marry whomever she wishes except you," the fatwa stated.

Or he could just switch Muslim sects. The Shiites don’t play the triple talaq game.

What I flushed down the toilet this morning has more brains than these inbreds. Comedians have more material than they could ever use thanks to these idiots. The mooslimbs make Scientology look mainstream.

Can we “Deem” Obama removed from office 3 times? Just asking.

Let's start a campaign to email or write ALL the departing Donks on Nov. 3 (en masse) with those words ('talak, talak, talak')... and so they won't think it's terrorism, we can post the "translation" below:

Don't let the door hit you in the on the way out!

Cheers!

"I am sure Laz would volunteer to be the good Samaritan if she is a comely wench."

What's the difference between a muslim woman and a bowling ball?

If you had to, you could eat the bowling ball...

Lol! Next time, say “Derllak! Derllak! Derllak!” and that should put an end to the confusion....until I show up on your front door to rescue you.

Then you’ll have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. :)
