From time to time the Daily Mail finds a story that justifies
its status as the world’s greatest tabloid.
This story comes to us from India. A man was gambling and,
apparently, in an excess of confidence, put his wife and two children into the
pot. He lost the hand, he was forced to forfeit both wife and children.
When the
winner showed up at the loser’s home, to collect his prize, the wife objected.
Thus, a local council was called to adjudicate the dispute.
It’s decision was: that the loser only had to forfeit one of
his children to the winner.
The wife then divorced her husband and married a “younger man.”
The case has been referred to a district court. Police are
now investigating the matter.

Wife got a better deal. Ex-hubby was a fool. People are strange.
And remember- there are Supreme Court justices who think we should use foreign law precedents to interpret our Constitution.
Excellent point....
Isn't this 'The Mayor of Casterbridge', by Thomas Hardy?!
