Divorce by Facebook...

It has finally happened - divorce by Facebook.  Yes, that’s right - a woman living in Brooklyn has been told by a judge that she can start divorce proceedings against her estranged husband by sending him papers via a Facebook message.

The couple were married in 2009 although they never consumated their marriage because the groom reneged on his promise to have a traditional Ghanaian wedding ceremony.

Since then the couple have been living apart and although the bride doesn’t know where the groom lives, he keeps in touch through Facebook.

It was this aspect that led the Judge at Manhattan Supreme Court to give the go ahead to serve divorce papers through the social networking site.

I’m not sure if the husband will ‘like’ this though!
