Malaysia disallows divorces via SMS

"KUALA LUMPUR--The Islamic religious authorities here will not allow Malaysian Muslims to divorce using short message service (SMS) although this mode of seeking a divorce has been reported to have been accepted in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore.

The religious adviser to the Prime Minister described requesting a divorce via a mobile phone message as an "irresponsible and dangerous act". [via ZDNet]
