<b>Muslim woman divorces husband, clerics overrule her</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Tonk (Rajasthan): Women divorcing their husbands is a rarity among Muslims, but what is even more rare is a woman who sends the talaqnama (divorce notice) to her husband by post.
Hasina, a mother of seven children, from the small town of Tonk in Rajasthan, has done just that.
Hasina says she was being tortured by her husband Mohammed Sharif and when Sharif asked for another Rs 1 lakh from her family, she decided she had had enough.

Says Muslim Personal Law Board member, Manjjur Alam, "The way Hasina has sent a talaqnama to her husband, its not the done thing."
Adds Priest, Khandane Amereria, Tonk, Umar Nadvi, "Only a man can give a talaq like this."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Paging Azmi, Roy, Kura karkat, Sen, Kwaja etc
