Malaysian man sues over SMS break-up

A Malaysian man is suing his ex-fiancee in an Islamic court after her father broke off their engagement via mobile phone text messages, reports ABC News.

Muhammad Salleh Muhamad Yusuf, a 46-year-old graphic designer, is demanding more than 70,000 ringgit ($28,114) from 28-year-old Nur Diana Ahmad Zubir to cover the cost of cancelled wedding preparations.

The pair had planned to marry on January 17, but Nur Diana's father last month sent two text messages to the would-be groom to end the relationship, Muhammad Salleh's lawyer said according to the official news agency Bernama.
