A Malaysian man is suing his ex- fiancée in an Islamic court after her father broke off their engagement via mobile phone text messages.<\/p>\n
Muhammad Salleh Muhamad Yusuf, a 46-year-old graphic designer, is demanding more than 70000 ringgit (R200 000 ) from 28-year-old Nur Diana Ahmad Zubir to cover the cost of cancelled wedding preparations.<\/p>\n
The pair had planned to marry on January 17, but Nur Diana’s father last month sent two text messages to the would-be groom to end the relationship, Muhammad Salleh’s lawyer said .<\/p>\n
“They got engaged based on mutual consent. The plaintiff did not know why his fiancée broke off the engagement,” lawyer Ahmad Nazib Johari said.<\/p>\n
This is not the first text-message tiff to end up in a Malaysian court.<\/p>\n
Three years ago, a senator was fined for divorcing his wife by sending her a text message and leaving a voicemail on her mobile phone. <\/p>\n
