Bismillah
You are divorced, divorced, divorced.....
AMMAN (AFP) - A budding romance between a Jordanian man and woman turned
into an ugly public divorce when the couple found out that they were in
fact man and wife, state media reported.
Separated for several months, boredom and chance briefly re-united Bakr
Melhem and his wife Sanaa in an Internet chat room, the official Petra
news agency said.
Bakr, who passed himself off as Adnan, fell head over heels for Sanaa,
who signed off as Jamila (beautiful) and described herself as a
cultured, unmarried woman -- a devout Muslim whose hobby was reading,
Petra said.
Cyber love blossomed between the pair for three months and soon they
were making wedding plans. To pledge their troth in person, they agreed
to meet in the flesh near a bus depot in the town of Zarqa, northeast of
Amman.
The shock of finding out their true identities was too much for the pair.
Upon seeing Sanaa-alias-Jamila, Bakr-alias-Adnan turned white and
screamed at the top of his lungs: "You are divorced, divorced, divorced"
-- the traditional manner of officially ending a marriage in Islam.
"You are a liar," Sanaa retorted before fainting, the agency said.
