Muslim-Arab women have faced lifelong battles with divorce due to the Islamic "Triple Talaq" practice, in which a woman is granted divorce only if her husband utters the words "I divorce you" three times.

Societal and cultural barriers have made it exceptionally hard for women to initiate divorce, even when proof of domestic abuse is evident.



However, one Emirati woman - who has been in a toxic relationship for three years with a man who refused to divorce her - decided to take the matter into her own hands in the most savage way possible.

The woman took her husband's cell phone while he was sleeping and texted herself a message - which read "I divorce you" - three times.
