until they had a disagreement.  Now they want a divorce.  It's one of

where judges must wrestle with countering claims from Mohammad Esmail
al-Bahrami and his wife, Fatimah Razavi.  Assisted into court by his

so I have to get rid of her." Said Razavi, "We used to have a sweet life
until a month ago, but suddenly differences came, and I have not much
interest to go on living with him." The judge took the case under review.
