I shit you not, this is for real, an Egyptian court has been asked to rule on whether a husband can send a text message to divorce his wife. AFP says the case stems from the actions of Abul Nasr, a Cairo engineer who declared the end of his marriage in three text messages that were sent to his wife, Iqbal Abul Nasr.
"I divorce you because you didn't answer your husband," he wrote in the last message, according to the state-run Al-Akhbar newspaper.
Under Islamic law, men can end a marriage by making a unilateral declaration of divorce that is repeated at least three times. Some countries have banned the use of cellphone messages to repeat the declaration, but Egypt has yet to rule on the legality of this practice. Cool stuff huh?

I never heard that text message is legal and I guess the verbal confrontation of throwing El-Yameen is legal in Egypt but it just doesn't make sense why would he text message her instead of doing it face to face.
If an e-mail is legal so why not the text message. The bottom line is the hubby is not going home obviously and that is what matters.
Poor lady she must feel horrible to get a divorce over a text message.
