Indian Muslim divorces wife in sleep

Islamic law is just so logical. An Indian couple has been ordered by Muslim clerics to separate after the man uttered "talaq" or divorce three times while asleep. Muslim clerics issued a fatwa [religious decree] asking the couple to live separately immediately after the news reached the local mosque. However, the couple, now legally divorced, insist that they are still in love and do not want to live apart. They have been married for 11 years and live with three children in a village north of Kolkata, capital of West Bengal. Although the couple wants to remain together, the clerics have ordered the woman to marry and spend a night with another man during a separation period before the couple can remarry.

Why India honors Muslim laws on marriage, divorce and property while its Hindu majority follows a British-inherited system on civil matters is beyond me, but this story is beyond ridiculous.

It does have me thinking, what if I utter "sex with two women" in my sleep 3 times. Will my fiance be obligated to provide that to me? If the answer is yes, I can see some merits in this whole Muslim law thing.
