Man accidentally divorces wife in sleep

Published March 28 in the Chicago Tribune.

NEW DELHI -- Village elders ordered a Muslim man in eastern India to leave his wife after he accidentally divorced her in his sleep. The man muttered the Urdu word for divorce, "talaq," three times in his sleep. Under Islamic law, a husband need only say "I divorce you" three times to secure a permanent end to his marriage.

"Oops, sorry Honey."
