Divorce Malaysia

Article

A controversial method of divorce: divorce through SMS. Protesters and opposition demand that if this method is provided as an ‘option’ that both parties be made to attend court after their divorce is announced. Lower courts upheld the ability to divorce via SMS as of 2003, but Islamic leaders consider divorce without specific consent or without courts an offense.
