But it's nothing compared to divorce in some Muslim areas, according to This Report
quote: A centuries-old custom, the triple talaq — literally "I divorce you," in Arabic — is a controversial procedure whereby a Muslim husband can divorce his wife by merely repeating the word talaq three times.
quote:In a high-tech twist to the ancient practice, some husbands have taken to e-mailing and even text messaging their divorce statements to their wives' cell phones. In Malaysia last year for instance, local newspapers carried reports of bothersome wives being dumped by husbands simply texting, "I d4c U, I d4c U, I d4c U."

Unfortunately, wives don't have the same privelege. Nor any claim to either property or children.

And marriage is just as easy for men. That's how they get around the adultery laws when hiring prostitutes: negotiate, pay, marry, have sex, and divorce within a matter of minutes
