U.S. Singer Says She Unknowingly Married Sultan Muhammad V, Demands Divorce

Her account has been reported internationally without confirmation from Malaysian authorities or comment from the Sultan.

Overview

  • Brittany Porter says an imam-led ceremony in Oman in April 2024 was a nikah that made her the Sultan’s wife, which she initially believed was only an engagement, and she says she converted to Islam at the time.
  • She says the Sultan cut off contact in October 2024 and told a friend they were separated, prompting her call for a "proper divorce" and an apology.
  • Porter reports she suffered a miscarriage in July 2024 and describes expectations about dress and conduct in Malaysia, where she was addressed with the courtesy title "Che Puan."
  • After researching Islamic divorce, she says she found no message indicating a talak and is seeking clarity on her marital status under Islamic law.
  • Porter has returned to music under the stage name Brook Lynn, releasing new singles and planning an album in January inspired by the breakup.
