Both women were divorced unilaterally. “Hussaini, who lives in the US sent three words over WhatsApp – Talaq, Talaq, Talaq – and completed the process of divorce.”
That was all that Islamic law required. If, however, Heena Fatima had sought a divorce, she would have had to go before a Sharia court and convince it that she had good reasons for the divorce.
Feminists remain silent about this institutionalized inequality.
“Hyderabad: 2 Muslim women divorced over WhatsApp by US-based husbands,” IndiaToday, March 4, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Two Muslim women in Hyderabad have been divorced over WhatsApp by their husbands living in the US. The two women have lodged complaint with the police.
Two divorces in a Hyderabad family have ignited the debate over triple talaq. Two women living in Hyderabad were divorced over WhatsApp by their respective husbands.
The husbands are brothers, who decided to divorce their wives one after another over the mobile chatting app.
Heena Fatima was divorced by her husband Syed Fayazuddin Hussain in a few weeks ago. They had married in February, 2013.
Four years later Hussaini, who lives in the US sent three words over WhatsApp – Talaq, Talaq, Talaq – and completed the process of divorce. Later, he also sent the divorce papers from the US.
In the second case, Mehreen Noor, married to Hussaini’s brother Mohammad Abdul Aqeel, was divorced by her husband over WhatsApp. Mehreen received a WhatsApp message from Akheel that she had been divorced.
Having been divorced unilaterally and without seeking consent, Heena and Mehreen have decided to fight back.
Heena has been quoted in reports as saying, “Sharia law lets you divorce me, but who is going to look after our children? Doesn’t Sharia law ask of you to take care of your children?”
On the other hand, Mehreen said that she was not even sure about the name of her husband at the time of their wedding. She has been quoted as saying, “I found out after marriage that my husband’s real name is Usman Qureshi. Now, without citing any reason, he has sent me divorce.”
“They (the two brothers) have made marriage a joke,” said Mehreen….

Who says these Islamic Barbarians are stuck in the 7th century? Through High Tech they eliminated the need for divorce LAUYERS. LOL!
Bk says
And still some women in Islam claims that Islam / sharia gives them respect.
What a joke.
BLC says
And they’d better keep making that claim or they could be beaten to within an inch of their lives, (or beyond).
gravenimage says
And it’s ludicrous–some Westerners buy this grotesque claim.
Tatyana Solovey says
Hilarious! Divorce lawyers out of business.
Mac-101 says
As my grandmamma used to say, ever cloud has a silver lining!
Jim says
Let’s not overlook what may be the real reason for the development of this app, namely that Muslims can now be facilitated in achieving their goal of taking over the world simply by growing their population and eventually having enough votes in all the democratic countries to instill their own majority and replace democratic values with Sharia values. Whereas Muslim males are limited to 4 wives (and however many children they can bring into the world from those 4), with this app a Muslim male can now divorce those 4 wives and obtain 4 new wives and start all over again. Sound crazy? Does it really?

…………………..
This was always the case in Islam, Jim. But before WhatsApp Muslims had to email or telephone–and before those Western inventions, they had to intone the “Triple Talaq” in person. This just makes kicking the mother of your children to the curb even more no muss, no fuss.
Lucia Bartoli says
Well divorce means no more Islamist children from at least these two. I wish saying 3 words from US to the brothers (and all the rest) would make THEM go away!
Mac-101 says
Nope, They just have to go through a Menses and then marry another old goat and be his 4th wife!
gravenimage says
True, Mac.
gravenimage says
I’m sure they’ve got some new wives lined up…
Angemon says
Did they act in an un-islamic fashion? If not, the fault may lie elsewhere…
gravenimage says
So true.
Purushottam Deshmukh says
Absolutely correct..
Somebody says
News from Erdogan, he completely went nuts and starting threatening Germany…

patriotliz says
Can you imagine if President of Mexico wanted to hold political rallies in US for his Mexican citizens to vote for a referendum to give him more power in Mexico and if those rallies were denied by the US, he would call the US “fascist?” HA!
Then there’s the rare example of intelligent life in Europe such as Wilders:
“Dutch nationalist Geert Wilders, expected to make huge gains in a March 15 election, said on Sunday that he would declare “the whole cabinet of Turkey persona non grata” and described Erdogan an “Islamo-fascist”.”—-YES! Pray that Wilders wins to restore some sanity to some part of Europe. These Nazis on the Left and the IslamoNazis always PROJECT onto others what they truly represent. As for the divorce by WhatsApp as being a “joke,” marriages per Islam are a joke, in fact…all of Islam is a joke. Mohammad was a charlatan.
Somebody says
Agreed, today at a meeting er-DOG-an called Dutch people as “pathetic-miserable” people, imagine we have to live with this satan islamists everyday. I am so much ashamed as non muslim Turk.
gravenimage says
Disgusting, Somebody–but not a surprise.
Jaladhi says
These are the so called “good” Muslims which Western liberals, leaders, media and academia always rap about!!
You think the Western idiots will learn something about Islam and Muslims before going out to make a blanket statement! Morons!

“They (the two brothers) have made marriage a joke,” said Mehreen….”
islamic ‘marriage’ *is* a joke, dear. Just be thankful they didn’t decide to have you murdered, instead.

Grimly spot on, Mirren. At least they weren’t “Honor Killed”.

US-based Muslims divorce their wives in India using WhatsApp
……………………………
As Mac-101 notes, Muslims only embrace technological innovation when it enables them to practice their ugly creed. Hence, WhatsApp is OK–as are IEDs and suicide vests.
More:
Heena has been quoted in reports as saying, “Sharia law lets you divorce me, but who is going to look after our children? Doesn’t Sharia law ask of you to take care of your children?”
……………………………
Muslims desert their children all the time, and seldom have to pay any sort of child support. But if Muslim men want their children, they can always get custody in Dar-al-Islam, no matter if the mother is obviously the better parent.
More:
“They (the two brothers) have made marriage a joke,” said Mehreen….
……………………………
That would be Islam itself, ladies. These Muslim brothers just took advantage of it.
Spike1033 says
Surely if these brothers are living in the US and the US recognises that these brothers are married then wherever their wives are they are still legally married under US law. Therefore they can’t simply get married to someone else or ‘divorce’. If the US recognises this then they are as bad as Sweden. These people think they can go anywhere and treat our countries like the pits they come from.
gravenimage says
Spike, I don’t think their wives were ever in the US, and US authorities likely know nothing about this case.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… Feminists remain silent about this institutionalized inequality…”
Yet there it is in full view and plain to see The Status of Women within Traditional Islam, illustrated by this contemporary case and thousands of others.
putridislam says
They have no respect for marriage. They can marry for a day or a few hours, just say a few words and boom they’re divorced. Sounds like prostitution to me.
Jeanette says
Prostitution for the Allah-whores? Imagine that!
gravenimage says
Muslims can also marry four wives, and forced and child marriage are condoned. There is summary divorce for men (as here), temporary marriage, and endless sex slaves on the side. Marriage in Islam has nothing to do with love.
The handful of conservatives who buy the idea that Islam is about “traditional marriage” values are ignorant fool.
ontheridge says
They divorced their wives so they can marry infidel or Christian women in the USA and turn them and the children they produce every year, into Muslims. If they each can have four American wives and produce 4 kids a year, then they will have tons of money from welfare to live on and sit and laugh at the the rest of the USA. Wow, in 10 years they could have a total of 80 kids, unless some twins are born, then it could be even more!!
Deport them before it’s too late!
gravenimage says
Probably so…
mortimer says
Islam’s gross injustice and violence towards women is unacceptable in the modern world. All modern people must ask Muslims personally to denounce these evil and unjust practices.
Jeanette says
And being the reasonable people that Muslims are, they will surely say, “Gee whiz, you’re right! Why did I never notice that Islam is evil and unjust?!! How have my ancestors missed that for 1,400 years?!!”
Sadly, I think not.
Purushottam Deshmukh says
Dear Mortimer,
For fourteen hundred years now, have Muslims shown any little regard for peaceful dialogue. They are tight containers stuffed with Koranic explosives. Even your single word towards opening a dialogue with a Muslim is like throwing a burning match-stick at the explosives. Pl. don’t be a dreamer.
Carolyne says
mortimer, you must live in La La Land. Muslims are inherently evil and unjust. It’s in their genes.
Purushottam Deshmukh says
You are right Carolyne.

Jim, as I noted above, this is nothing new–it just makes summary divorce even easier for Muslims.
