Ghaziabad (UP): The Imam of a mosque in Uttar Pradesh's Muradnagar district has held that an SMS sent by a man stating 'Talaq' thrice to his wife was valid for a divorce.

Shahid's wife Praveen yesterday received an SMS with 'talaq' typed three times sent by him. The Imam has said the two cannot unite now as this marriage has been made void, the woman's uncle Sajid said.

The couple had married three months ago but Praveen had returned to live with her parents due to some differences.

Shahid tried to bring her back but failed to do so after which he had sent the SMS, he said.

ISLAM is equal for men and women thats the reason why most of non-muslims women are getting converted to islam. This cleric is wrong,Islam doesnt teaches this. ISLAM teaches to respect wife,mother,daughter,sister. The most hatered thing in view of Allah is divorce. Media picks blacksheep and publish stories. Let me refer you to islamic teaching here ``The best man among all is the one who respect and love his wife most``

Its again the media is picking the black sheep and projecting it as ISLAMIC, which by all mean i believe the ISLAM doesnt allow such stupidity. ISLAM the religion of equality to MEN and WOMEN. Thats the reason why most on non-muslim womens are accepting ISLAM.

This is bit strange and shocking. I agree with Mr singh from usa it should not be bias and applicable for women who wnna get divorce. But on the contrary i would be happy if this type of divorce system gets applicable to every sect...court janey ka jhanjhat he khatam no waste of time in divorce proceedings in the court. If your marriage is registered in the court just formally inform the court that divorce is done

This is a unfair rule for the woman. I appeal to my Muslim brother to amend this rule and make it more faire to both man and woman. Marriage should not be break by just 3 words.

WOW !!...and by that logic it should be leagal to marry someone by sending an SMS stating `` Qubool Hai`` three times. My current tariff plan offers me free SMS`s, I`m on a mission, let me marry some pretty muslim babes::))
