description Folie à deux is an uncommon psychiatric entity characterized by the transfer of delusional ideas and/or abnormal behavior from one person to another, or many others, who are in close contact with the primarily affected patient. In this paper we present a case of folie à deux, involving a married couple who suffered from a shared psychotic disorder with delusional interpretations of specific suras of the Koran. These mystical delusions were derived from the Anatolian legend of The Seven Sleepers. The case resulted in the death of the wife. This study illustrates the role of cultural and religious factors in folie à deux.
