Man divorces two wives in 3 mins
Shakespeare in the Merchant of Venice said “The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children.” I remembered this as I read Roslan Ngah’s story of how he divorced his 2 wives in 3 minutes. A record of sorts, I suppose. Good, he has disposed of ‘his baggage’ and now God willing he will be married the forth time - in between the two wives he married and divorced the third after a short stint in 2001. He is an experienced husband, surely, after knowing 3 wives. Or perhaps knowing many women is his essence of life. Many will come to his defence saying he might have had problems, strained relationship, etc etc and therefore his action is justified.
What is odd is the husband and the wives are documented, with a passing insignificant comment, Roslan is also the father of 8 children. 8 fatherless children. What wrong did they do. Divorces are nasty but it is the children who suffer. Parents think of this. Although guiltless the children suffer. Sigh.

A man divorced his two wives in three minutes, saying they had “collectively decided” to end their marriages to him and he had “never expected” such an outcome.
Roslan Ngah divorced his wives on Tuesday in an Islamic court in Terengganu by repeatedly saying “talaq”, which under Islamic law means a couple is divorced, the New Straits Times reported.
The 44-year old businessman told the daily that his wives, a housewife and a nurse who lived in the same house, had both wanted to divorce him.
“(My first and second wives) are like good friends but I never imagined that both of them had collectively decided to divorce me,” he said.
“I admit that my relationship with them had been strained over the past few months but I never expected our marriages to end in this manner.”
April Fool’s hoax?Roslan married his first wife in 1986 and his second in 1995. He married a third time in 2001 but divorced shortly afterwards.
Asked if he would marry again, Roslan, who had a total of eight children with all three women, said: “I will not put off marriage indefinitely, God willing.”
Earlier, local reporters had dismissed messages about the pending divorce as an April Fool’s Day hoax but realised it was real when they turned up at the courtroom.
