Married Muslim woman and her non-Muslim lover nabbed
Religious officers in Terengganu act upon receiving a call from the woman’s husband after he sees the duo entering a hotel.
English daily The Star quoted a news report from Metro, saying that the distraught husband had called the state religious authority after spotting his wife and a man enter the premises of a hotel. He was suspicious that the two were having an affair.
Acting on the call, JHEAT officers raided the hotel in Kuala Nerus at 7.35am and found the two naked inside one of the rooms.
Speaking to officers after the raid, the woman claimed she had fallen in love with the man she was with as he had helped her expand her business.
Commenting on the incident, JHEAT commissioner Wan Mohd Wan Ibrahim said, “Although he (the woman’s husband) was disappointed and upset, he did not take action by himself but called the religious authorities instead.”
The married woman and her lover were brought to the JHEAT office and will be investigated under Section 29 of the Terengganu Syariah Criminal Offences (Takzir) Enactment 2001.
