Jquery Validation Any one of the fields mandatory

Question

Using the Jquery validation plugin, I was curious to know if there is some sort of in-built functionality to have a "one of the two" is mandatory check. e.g: Email or mobile number is mandatory?

Ok serves me right for not googling enough.

To answer the question, by default No apparently it's not, but it isn't too difficult to write a custom rule either.
