Bizarre non-medical story of the week – Man accidentally divorces wife in his sleep:

Under Islamic law, a husband need only say “I divorce you” three times to secure a permanent end to his marriage . . .

. . . But 30-year-old Ansari said he had no intention of leaving his wife of 11 years.

“I have not given talaq. When I uttered talaq three times I had taken medicines to help me sleep,” he was quoted as saying in the report.

The religious leaders said that before remarrying, the couple would have to be apart for at least 100 days and that the wife, Sohela, would also have to spend a night with another man and then be divorced by him.
