I read that earlier and I honestly thought I was reading the Daily Mash or Newsthump or similar. Words fail me, speaking as a man. God only knows what the ladies on here feel about it.
It reminds me of when we were kids and we'd believe anything. One popular one was walk 3 times around a grave by the vestry door and look through the key gold and you'll see the blue lady. All that happened was you got a kick up the arse whilst bent over!
You can summon Biggie Smalls on Halloween by saying his name 3 times into a mirror. I've seen it happen on South Park
I honestly thought it was common knowledge. I don't see how it could work practically though - if a man said it during an argument (which I imagine would be fairly common) and then changes his mind, do you just pretend he didn't say it or does it stand and you have to get remarried?
Don't know a huge amount about it, but in the article it does say "...after which arbitration is required", so I'm sure there's ample opportunity for minds to be changed or things to be worked out.
I'm not sure. My friend was married to a muslim and had two weddings, a muslim one and a civil ceremony. When my friend later wanted a divorce, her husband went to somewhere without her (not sure where) and then came back and told her it was sorted and that they were divorced. Understandably, she wanted an official divorce but he said he didn't want to bother with it all as to him they were now divorced and he never counted the civil one anyway so he wouldn't sign anything. That soon changed (about a month later), when his family wanted him to remarry, this time to a muslim woman, and so he needed to be divorced in order to legally marry again (the woman was from Pakistan and needed to be officially married to him to come over here). My friend considered dragging it out to spite him as he hadn't wanted it when she did but realised she'd actually just rather be divorced. It seems from that, that if they'd never had an official wedding, they would have been divorced as soon as he went wherever he went that day.
In all seriousness I'd never heard of it, but my mind boggles as to what would happen in an argument. I'm watching my tongue from now on.
I can remember a Jewish convert doing something similar to some bacon rashers in pan when rabbi made an unexpected visit Or was that a scene from TAXI. Mmm
