Man divorces wife for waking him up

A Saudi husband divorced his wife because she tried to wake him to go to work in the morning, the local daily Ajel reported on Sunday.

It was the third time that the 23-year-old man, who was not named, divorced his wife for the same reason in the first time and because of his noisy children in the second case, the paper said without mentioning where he lives.

“In the third case, his wife kept shaking him to wake him up so he will go to work in the morning…he got mad and divorced her instantly,” the paper said.

“When he was out of his madness fit, he regretted his act and went to her family’s house to restore her but they refused…he tried again and again but he was told that he would never see her again.”

Under Islam, husbands can divorce their wives by just saying the divorce words three times. Women can not do the same.
