MisTek - Technological Misbehaviour Divorce By SMS -


Divorce By SMS

Posted on Friday 20 January 2006

A Malaysian Senator has been fined by a Sharia court for divorcing his wife by SMS text message.

In 2001, Kamaruddin Ambok sent his wife a text telling her that it was all over - an action that has cost him a grand total of 195 big ones in fines.

Accoring to Sharia law, he was required to declare his intention of divorce in court and not on a wonder of modern technology.

The maximum possible punishment for the crime was $350 or six months in prison.

In response to the sentence, Ambok was quoted as saying, “omfg!! i got soo pwned!!”

Luckily Mrs Ambot was allowed access to http://www.noslang.com/ to figure out what the hell he was talking about.
