Divorce and Firing by Mobile Phone

Reuters reports that a Muslim authority has declared that it's okay for a Muslim man to divorce his wife via a text message. Islamic law permits a man to divorce his wife by declaring "I divorce you" three times.

Amazingly efficient. It's as though marriage doesn't mean anything anymore to some people.

I read recently on emblog that a British personal injury claims firm, The Accident Group (TAG), sacked 2500 employees via text-message this past May.

Also, amazingly efficient. Paperless, too. Geez.

Update: Irene commented that the decision by the Muslim authority has been overturned. Thanks!
