Reasonable Grounds for Divorce?
Divorce can be a messy circumstance surrounded by strange occurrences. And no two situations are alike.
For instance, a Nigerian woman has recently decided to file for divorce from her husband because he can’t control his bowel movements after he’s had one too many drinks.
Oluwakemi Ogundele is looking for a divorce from her husband for defecating in her pots and pans after he drinks too much.
According to her, once he partakes in several drinks, he uses the pots and pans to do his business. She’s fed up with having to clean up after his mess not to mention, that’s not a very attractive quality to the opposite sex.
Well now she’s had enough and is ready for divorce. She’s asked the courts to dissolve the marriage based on his poor habit and that she quite simply no longer loves her husband.
But this is not the first marriage to end to lack of love and control over one’s actions.
In 2006 a Muslim couple was forced to divorce after the husband repeated the Arabic word “talak” three times in his sleep.
This is the Islamic mode of getting a divorce in which the man must repeat this word three times usually in front of witnesses. The literal translation is to “repudiate somebody” or in simple terms to divorce or separate from someone.
After this the couple must be divorced.
The couple did take this to the elders of their village where they were told they were divorced. The elders continued to state if they wanted to be together, then they would have to remarry.
Some of us might wish it were this simple all over the world. But of course as the story shows, if divorce was this easy, it could lead to more problems than it’s worth.
There are many different circumstances surrounding divorce and some may appear to be a little bit odder than others.
