Elder of ZiyonJEDDAH: A Shariah court here has approved the divorce of a young Saudi woman in her 20s whose husband sent her an SMS text from Iraq saying he had divorced her.Who says that Islam hasn't embraced modernity?The husband, who is in Iraq to participate in what he described as “jihad,” also telephoned two of his friends who witnessed his marriage and told them that he had divorced his wife.
This is not the first time that particular Islamic legal ruling has come up.
