CAN MY MARRIAGE END BECAUSE I CONVERTED?.

Wako and Maria met at church, and after some encouragement from the pastor, they got married. In their 3rd year of marriage, Wako got a scholarship in Thailand and went for his master's degree. The ‘happy’ couple continued talking almost every day until the day Wako returned. At the airport, he came dressed in Buddhist monk robes, and Maria thought he just wanted people to know where he had been.

The joke stopped being funny when they got home, and she woke up at night to find Wako humming and meditating with Budha. Maria has done everything to convince him to change his mind, but Wako is a ‘real’ monk now. Maria says she is left with no choice, and she can no longer be a wife to a confused person who changes his beliefs.

Can Maria divorce Wako because he changed his religion?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

According to the law, the religion someone enters a marriage with is important. The law allows you to ask for divorce if your spouse has changed from the religion they had while they were entering the marriage with you.

This is because different religions look at marriage in different ways. For example, Christian marriages are monogamous (one man, one woman), while many other religions are ‘potentially’ polygamous (one man, many women). So, changing a religion would mean you are no longer bound by the beliefs about marriage in that religion.

So, if Mary is uncomfortable with this change of religion and what it represents, then she can seek a divorce from Wako on grounds of change of religion.

Surgeons fined $60,000 and banned permanently from profession after billionaire died during penis enlargement surgery.

Surgeons have been banned from practicing plastic surgery after a billionaire patient died during a penis enlargement procedure. Belgian-Israeli diamond dealer Ehud Arye Laniado, 65, died of a heart attack during the procedure to enlarge his penis at the Saint-Honore-Ponthieu aesthetic clinic in Paris. His star surgeon, known as Guy H, was known for operating on wealthy clients and he treated Ehud two to four times a year in procedures costing tens of thousands of euros. Wealthy Omega Diamonds owner Ehud would be operated on out of office hours. He had been having injections into his penis to make it appear larger. An investigation was swiftly opened into potential manslaughter chargers following his death, though it soon shifted to charges of failing to assist a person in danger, drug offences and practicing medicine without a licence. A Paris court on Wednesday suspended Guy H's licence and sentenced him to 15 months behind bars. His surgeon, who had been...
