Kolkata: Islamic clerics have ruled that a woman divorced by her husband in a fit of drunkenness can remarry him only after she takes another husband for one day.
Ershad, a rickshaw puller, uttered the word talaq, three times earlier this month while he was drunk, and when news leaked out in their village in eastern Orissa state, the clerics said they must separate.
"The couple had kept it under wraps and continued to stay together but the clerics ruled that since Ershad uttered the word talaq three times, it constituted a divorce," district police chief Shatrughan Parida said over the telephone.
Under the rules, the woman, who is a mother of three, must marry another man and obtain a divorce from him before she can be reunited with Ershad, the clerics in the local mosque said.
The clerics have said the man the woman marries temporarily must be 70 years of age, Parida said.
Earlier this year, another Muslim couple in West Bengal was told by local religious leaders they must separate after the man uttered talaq three times in his sleep. They refused the order and continue to live together.
