a sad day for a former Queen


A sad day for a former Queen
Married to the sultan in 1961
He divorced her in 2009
She didn't know...

The sultan passed away in 2010
Nothing was announced then
Every respect was accorded to her
Until a fatwa was issued

It was then her dilemma
Documents were submitted
Her marriage was over in 2009
The late sultan never told her

How could a dead man initiate divorce?
How could the religious authority allow cohabitation?
If that was what it was filed and said?
The former Queen appealed but lost her case

The case shouldn't have happened
A dead man can't file a divorce
Where is the legal common stand?
But syariah appeal court upheld it

A sad day for a former Queen
Married to a sultan for 5 decades
This is how she got in the end
This isn't the way to treat her
