Do you think that men should be allowed to divorce their wives in Egypt through a text message? This is the question facing the Islamic heads of Egypt.
I think it makes it too easy for chicken-shit men.

little bit off the subject,
but do you think that women who dont answer men's calls are chicken shit women? I think that running away from arguments or problems makes either party a chicken shit and that makes any reaction fair game.....
btw, I dont agree that divorce should be on the phone or SMS...I dont agree with divorce period...
Well I don't see a problem with divorce through text messages... I mean if it is a matter of whether it is right or wrong from the Islamic point of view the answer lies in the Hadith:
ثلاث هزلهن جد و جدهن جد: العتق و الزواج و الطلاق
But the extent to which it is permissible or not I guess is not the problem. The problem is with the article you posted a link to. I mean under no circumstances should divorce be such an easy thing, be it through a text message or an email or the word of mouth.
You don't teach your woman to do things right by divorcing her, believe me or other wise every woman in Egypt would be divorced not just cause they need to learn many lessons but also because some of men's lessons are just not right.
I guess the problem is not a matter of Islamic rules and regulations the way the article mentioned, given that Islam clearly states that to God the worst of all Halal is Divorce.
It is I believe a matter of mentality. And if this is the kind of mentality a man of this sort operates with then I guess she is better off living without him, and again I am not referring to the whole SMS thing, I am referring to the fact that divorce has been decided upon to be a way of teaching wives a lesson....
sherif,
hmm, also a little off subject.. but I think that you ran away from arguments and problems..
And I completely agree that divorce, or breaking up in general, should not be done over the phone or through word of mouth...
:o)
GBK,
Too smart of a reply for me today. The correct comment would have been.. Men suck and you are the best! Want to try commenting again.. and maybe this time you'll get it right!
:o)
unless you were the woman in the article who did not answer her husband's phone, then you are getting personal with me :-)
And no, I did not run from arguments and problems, I ran from a clear doomed-for-failure marriage.
As you mentioned in one of your blogs, American and Egyptian mentalities do not mix, and I was one of the few who figured that out before getting married and subjecting my kids to eternal life of misery, etc..
Sherif,
Oh great wise one..
:oP
Of course I am :-)
Nora,
Thanks for giving me a second chance. Well men suck and so do women...
And with regards to ranking someone as best then I would say, I am THE BEST and you are right behind me...
Any luck this time? :P
And babe, thanks for implying I was smart :P
GBK,
Well, that was much better! Not perfect, but I think with practice you will get there!
:o)
Sherif,
You're humble too!
Come on that is so perfect, I am the best there is...
I AM LEGEND... LOL
You are delusional, I can give you that!
:oP
Yeah Yeah, Keep saying that, I am still gonna be the best that wouldn't change a thing :P
i think when text messages were used for marriage proposals everything started going downhill from there...
:)
N,
You always come up with the brilliant remarks!
:o)
wow... so that's what u were talking about!!
i am wondering why he didn't divorce me that way when i stopped answering his calls... instead he "taught me a lesson" by reporting my credit card missing and changing the locks!!!
so, in that article he sent her 2 divorce texts and yet no official documentation thereof!! what about the famous mo7dar from all the egyptian movies??!!
i think the egyptian judicial system has a lot of flaws that make it easy for the jerk party (be it the man or the woman) to continue harming the other person... i know that first hand sadly!!
and sherif, btw, sometimes the best behavior is to not answer when ur expecting insults... it's much better than answering and returning them or losing your temper... a very wise person once said "3etab el nadl egtenabo".... i might be taking it a bit personal tho :)
insomniac,
I respect that your experience is probably different and that you may have had the right no to answer. All I am saying is that in general, it is rude that I do not answer the phone especially in an argument since it is considered ignoring the person on the other end. Of course if the argument involves curses and swearing, I would have done the same :)
Hope this is behind your back anyway and you have moved on and found somebody that respects you and value respectable arguments.
insomniac,
well, why don't you keep sending him texts asking him to call you.. and when he does.. do not answer. maybe then he will send you a divorce text! :o)
Seriously, your ex seems to be getting sick satisfaction from this. I am sorry babe!
Sherif,
I think this is one of those rare comments that are not argumentative! Feeling ok?
:oP
Sherif,
Or is that only because it was not directed to me?
:oP
you got it ;-)
sheirf,
it's fine really... i was just making a point... not that personal really!
thanks for ur kind words...
nora,
ignoring him seems to be driving him nuts, which is great since normally i don't know how to just ignore people... now i have motive, hehe
and btw, i think ur underestimating my arguing skills...
sherif,
Well, i am glad to know that you do have a nice side to you... even if I only see it regarding others!
:oP
insomniac,
Well that sounds like the perfect motivation to ignore him!!
If you want to practice your arguing skills I think you should practice with Sherif.. he likes to argue!
:O)
I can only exercixe my arguing skills with you Nora. Plus, I am sure insomniac is a sane and logical person to argue with so it would not be as much fun :oP
hope we dont start swearing at each others in the next comments...lol
Oh, lucky me!
I think insomniac would kick your ass if the two of you were to argue...
Not planning on cursing you anytime soon...
again, i feel my arguing skills are being underestimated...
not by you nora :D
I do not think so...
I think Sherif estimates them about right... he is hiding from you!
:o)
Nora, I am not that good at arguing, even with you..I just do it with you because it has a special taste. I have nothing against insomniac so there is no point of arguing with her, I read her blog and she seems to be normal :o)
I think it is stupid. It's like legitimizing the possession of guns and everytime a quarrel happens, a gunshot gets fired. Utter stupidity.
sherif,
Glad I make arguing enjoyable!
Posh,
I agree. I think it is stupid too!
text message divorce is a good idea, and women should also have a similar right to divorce men (khol3)through text messages...bas keda!
madwomaninatic,
I am not sure I agree. Giving both parties the same right does make it a bit more fair... but I think that it is too easy to be abused. Marriage is sacred and should not be trivialized to that extent...
It makes it too easy to divorce someone for something stupid like not answering the phone etc.
:)
