Why are you spamming from Shiit site?
Are you trying to proselytize to Shiitism?

Its so unfair.  But if a man wants to divorce he must just take the road. Who wants to be with a man that can't commit. Let him go ..

I can't handle it when females stick to their men like glue when they mistreat them.  If a man wants to text you throuh celphone let him go to hell.  OMG it makes me angry when men get so insensitive.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing , you will be successfull

Is a divorce which is done by SMS (text message or Short Message Service) valid?
http://forum.islamquest.net/Forums/

The divorce process, in Islam, beholds a number of prerequisites.

Conditions attributed to the man (who executes the divorce) include:

1.       sanity (ought not be insane)

2.       pubescent (can�t be a child or infant)

3.       executing the divorce, voluntarily, of one�s own free will (neither under coercion nor with reluctance)

 

Conditions attributed to the woman include:

1.       being a permanent wife (not a temporary one [concubine])

2.       being pure (clear) from menstrual or childbirth (nifas) blood; if she is in her menstrual/nifas period, divorce may not be realised

 

Conditions attributed to the divorce�s contract formula include:

1.       reciting the specific canonical formula

2.       reciting the required words; divorces may not be realised via writing or signalling the formula. Exceptions, however, are made for the speech-impaired.

3.       being recited before two male, just witnesses.

 

It is now clear that divorces may not be carried out via telephone calls or SMSs albeit by the husband; divorces require verbal recitations and the presence of two just witnesses. Note, however, that the woman�s presence is not a prerequisite due to the fact that divorces are essentially unilaterally-executed contracts which may only be carried out by the husband or his attorney. Once the divorce is finalised, the former wife may be notified by whatever possible means, including SMS.
