Talking Wash or I'll....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4312873.stm

BBC NEWS
Smelly divorce hits Iranian court
An Iranian woman says she wants to divorce her husband because he has not washed for more than a year, according to a press report.

The 36-year-old woman, identified as Mina, reportedly told a court in Tehran that her husband smells so bad even their children will not go near him.

She said that when she met her husband eight years ago, he was obsessive about staying clean.

Women in Iran have fewer rights than men when it comes to getting divorced.

A woman normally has to prove that her husband has neglected her financially or sexually, is a drug addict or is physically abusive.

Mina reportedly told the divorce court the smell of her husband was so bad that it was making her family a laughing stock.

"We cannot go to any parties. I feel so ashamed," she was quoted by Iran's state-run newspaper.

Divorce criteria

She said he "does not like water and does not want to take a shower. He doesn't even wash when he wakes up in the morning."

She said that when they first married, he had an obsessive compulsion to stay clean.

"He spent hours taking showers three times a day and washed his hands every few minutes," she reportedly said.

"But he suddenly changed... Now nobody, including me, my children and his colleagues, can stand him."

A legal expert told the AFP news agency that being smelly was not a valid reason for divorce in Iran.

But Mina could argue it had caused her to hate her husband so much that she could no longer live with him, which would meet the criteria.

LMAO!!!

Where do you find this stuff? Well, IMO, I think the woman should have the right to divorce her husband. I mean, not talking a shower for a month is bad enough, but a year!? That's just wrong.

Hmm, I've no problem being with a dirty girl, but that's taking in an entirely different direction. They should put him in the basement if he's not going to wash at all and can't get a divorce.

I say they should give him a shot with the needle and wash him while he sleeps.

Some weak acid you do the trick, maybe HCI

HCl = the type of acid that is in your stomach
