In November 2018, the King of Malaysia, Sultan Muhammad V, suddenly took a three-month leave of absence due to illness, which left people puzzled. After all, the 49-year-old king had always been diligent and beloved by the people, and he appeared to be in good health, so it seemed unlikely that he would suffer from a serious illness.

However, the mystery was quickly unraveled.


According to reports, in 2015, the former Russian beauty queen Oksana Voevodina secretly married the king in Moscow.


She publicly shared wedding photos on social media, revealing the king's whereabouts.

The wedding was conducted according to Malaysian traditional Islamic customs, and Oksana took the name "Rihana" upon marrying the king.


However, shortly after the marriage, the king announced his abdication.


This sudden event drew attention, but people still wished them happiness.

However, just 90 days later, news broke that the couple had divorced.


What was even more surprising was that the divorce took place in Singapore, where marriage laws are strict, stipulating that couples cannot divorce within three years of marriage.


Moreover, their divorce was approved by the religious court and even initiated "triple talaq," a rare practice in Islam, which signifies that the woman violated religious principles during the marriage.

The divorce of the two sparked widespread speculation and attention.


It was reported that the king and Oksana met in Europe in 2017, and their relationship developed rapidly.


Before their wedding in Moscow, they had a secret wedding in Malaysia but kept it confidential.

However, after the wedding was exposed, Oksana's past was revealed by the media. She had taken numerous explicit photos during her modeling career and participated in reality TV shows.


Furthermore, rumors circulated that she had engaged in relationships with men on a reality show in Mexico, sparking strong reactions from the Malaysian public opinion.


After the king's abdication, the divorce process became complicated.


Oksana demanded luxurious properties worth hundreds of millions in London and Moscow, as well as monthly expenses of hundreds of thousands, while the king was only willing to pay 2.5 million as a one-time compensation.

Additionally, he requested that she and their child completely cut ties with the Malaysian royal family, but the child must be raised according to Malaysian traditional Islamic customs.


The divorce process remained deadlocked, and Oksana attempted to gain benefits by publicly exposing the king's scandals.


She claimed that the king had illicit relationships with other women and exposed a phone call recording allegedly between the king and another woman.


However, the Malaysian royal family and the king himself remained silent, believing that Oksana had joined the royal family for monetary gain.


This divorce scandal was lamentable and reflected deeper underlying complexities.

Apart from the divorce, the issue of the child's parentage also became a focus.


Oksana claimed that the king was the father of her child, but the king expressed doubts and requested a paternity test.


However, due to conflicting conditions from both parties, the paternity test has yet to be conducted.


Behind the story of this marriage and divorce lie many unknown details, and Oksana is trying to fight for her rights by publicly exposing the king's scandals.

This controversy not only reveals the complicated relationship between the king and Oksana but also raises concerns and questions about the Malaysian royal family and legal system.
