Divorce Malaysia2

Article

As of 2003, Malaysian religious officials declare divorce through SMS unacceptable. Though the system had previously been upheld by the lower courts, it is now an offense subject to fines. The most prominent opposition comes from the Muslim community, which outlines very specific rules and regulations regarding divorce, and considers divorce via SMS intolerable.
