Do you sleep-talk? Well, if you are a married Muslim, beware. Coz just one harmless, unintended sleep-talk might just change the course of your life. Like it had done to a Muslim couple, Aftab and Sohela in India.
Aftab has been directed by local Islamic clerics to divorce his wife after he said 'talaq, talaq, talaq' thrice in his sleep.
Talaq in Urdu means divorce and according to Islamic laws, triple rendition of the word amounts to divorce. But Aftab hardly knew that uttering the three words in his blissful sleep would cost him his married life.
The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told they had to split.
The religious leaders ruled that if the couple wanted to remarry they would have to wait for at least 100 days and that Sohela would also have to spend a night with another man and be divorced by him in turn.
That's what I call mindless cannon of law.
