NEW DELHI (RNS) — Afreen Rehman, a 25-year-old Muslim woman, received a letter from her husband while visiting her parents in Jaipur earlier this year.
In it were three words: "talaq, talaq, talaq"– or "divorce" three times in Arabic, thus ending their marriage of two years.
NEW YORK (RNS) — Donald Trump's flagging presidential bid is enjoying a boost of that old-time religion after conservative Christian leaders gave the candidate high praise and standing ovations at a critical closed-door meeting that one observer described as a "campaign rally."
Trump would look back on the Tuesday (June 21) meeting as "the seminal event and turning point in taking you to the presidency," former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist and Trump backer who moderated the talks, told the presumptive Republican nominee in front of nearly 1,000 mainly evangelical leaders gathered at a Times Square hotel.
