Maadi, Egypt (Al-Ahram): A woman has sought -and obtained - divorce (khol3) from her husband, a physician, because... he wouldn't talk to her in english.
Yes, you read right. No, he wasn't cheap - she actually testified that he's been extremely kind and generous. He just wouldn't speak to her in English. The lady is an AUC grad (that's American University in Cairo, which is a good school but surely not half as good as Cairo Uni, the state university..:) and works as a translator. So the lady seems to be lacking practicing...
On a secondary remark, I find it awkward that they mentioned in the newspaper that she's an AUC grad. Why is it that AUC is associated in the average Joe's (the average Ali, should I say:) mind that it's a posh, pretentious place? Well, it kinda is and the fact that this reputation sticks to its graduates is surely based on a little bit of truth, no? Then again, it's all in the marketing. the live on rep - that's how they attract students and that's how their grads get hired :)
Another remark is that the court actually thought that this was a good enough reason for divorce. That is kinda ridiculous.
My opinion: It's just a question of bad sex! But the lady does have quite some imagination to come with that excuse, though :)
