WTF?!?!

That’s exactly what I had to say when I read this in Gulf Daily News yesterday. Apparently it is a growing trend in the region for men to divorce their wives via SMS. And more disgusting than that, in more than one instance this cowardly method has been accepted in court. It is sick, really sick!

Isn’t it that when a man seeks for a life-time partner, he goes through a long process of asking a girl’s hand for marriage and they arrive at an agreement after considering a lot of factors? Do you think it is just so ironic how easy you can pick up a phone and send an SMS to convey your desire to end a commitment you have made in the name of God?

In my culture where boyfriend-girlfriend relationships are accepted and quite common, break-ups carried out through a text message is indeed a trend that have been going on for sometime. Even then, it is still viewed as quite stupid, tasteless and cowardly.

I can’t say more….
