Singer Brittany Porter Learns She Was Married to Sultan of Kelantan
Imagine a singer from California met a prince from Malaysia.
They went on fun trips and he bought her nice gifts.
Then, they had a ceremony where she became a Muslim, but she thought it was just like getting engaged.
Later, the prince suddenly stopped talking to her and left the country.
She found out from a friend that they were actually married!
Now, she feels confused because she didn't know she was married, and now they are even separated.
She wants a real divorce because she feels tricked.
Singer Brittany Porter was unaware she was married to Malaysian Sultan Muhammad V until he initiated a separation.
Porter believed a ceremony in Oman was an engagement, not a nikah (Muslim religious ceremony).
She met the Sultan in January 2024, and he reportedly showered her with gifts and luxury trips.
Tensions arose upon returning to Malaysia, with conflicts over her dress code and spending.
After Porter experienced a miscarriage, the Sultan blocked her and later left the country, communicating their separation through a friend.
