Windows Phone Thoughts: Malaysia to Ban Divorce by SMS

"Malaysia plans to outlaw divorce via mobile phone text messaging after a row erupted over an Islamic court ruling that it was acceptable, local media reported. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said the cabinet had agreed that Muslim men should be barred from divorcing their wives via the short messaging system (SMS) as such a serious issue needed to be handled in a more personal manner."

Much ado was made of the "SMS divorce story" when it first came out, and this seems to be the end of it (thankfully), at least in Malaysia.
