Marriage can drive couples to do some of the most strange and peculiar things, but that’s nothing when compared to how far divorce will make some go.

Forty-two-year-old Cambodian man, Moeun Sarim, decided he and his wife would split everything the couple owned right down the middle. This included their house, which Moeun Sarim and his family members cut in half using hand saws. Who knew the husband wanted to take the settlement literally?
Till Death Do Us Part
In 2007, Karen Finnegan filed for divorce after 26 years with her husband, Joe. In response, Joe claimed he couldn’t get divorced to Karen, since their marriage was dissolved in 2004 when he “died”.. Joe claimed his heart stopped beating in 2004 and this temporary stop was enough to annul their marriage based off the promise “till death do us part.” Unfortunately for Joe, the case was dismissed since it was evident he wasn’t a walking zombie and showed up for his court hearing.
