Now we really know mobile technology is entering every possible sphere of our lives. Apparently, a woman in Egypt is seeking clarification from a court on whether her husband’s declaration of divorce by text message is legally valid.
After missing a call from her husband on her mobile phone, Iqbal Abul Nasr received an SMS from him saying “I divorce you because you didn’t answer your husband.”
If an Egyptian court declares the couple divorced, it would be the first reported case of divorce by SMS in the country. And while we’re on the subject, divorce by SMS has been highly debated across the Muslim world and some Islamic countries like Malaysia have banned the practice…
Finally, even though we consider ourselves to be quite tech savvy, we are totally against this — some things should be reserved for face-to-face meetings.
