Manohara vs. the Kelantan Prince

The High Court of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, today awarded the Prince of Kelantan, Tengku Fakhry, the sum of  US$ 1.8 Million in Defamation Lawsuit against his teen Indonesian wife Manohara Adelia Pinot.

The Jakarta Globe quoted Tengku Fakhry's lawyer Muhamad Haaziq as saying that the said High Court verdict was passed in the absence of Manohara as Defendant who never appear during the who trial.

The Jakarta Globe also reported that considering that the Indonesian Laws cannot compel Manohara to adhere to the Malaysian High Court ruling, therefore the Prince plans to fly to Jakarta next week to file a similar lawsuit based on the Indonesian laws.

Due to the fact that there have been too many stories about Manohara, her Mom and the Prince reported by the media and bloggers for so long, I prefer not to give any comment until there is further development of this case.

Manohara again

One of the most dramatic news reported by the Indonesian media     last year was the strange marriage between Indonesian-American teenager Manohara (17) and Prince Fakhry (32) of Kelantan, Malaysia.

The relationship ended after Mano ran away from her husband, and each of them initiated legal actions against the other. But, considering that such actions were taken in each of their own countries, therefore none of them became legally effective.

Afterward, Mano played in an highly paid Indonesian TV Sinetron (soap opera) which was not popular as expected. Beside that, she also tried to maintain popularity by taking part in anti corruption demonstration and other high profile activities.

And recently, KapanLagi.com reported about photos of a person who looks like Mano with a man only described by his initial AM. But someone at Mano's home said that the are not photos of Mano.

Considering that the legal status of her marriage is still unclear, I wonder how will her husband Prince Fakhry will react when he find out about the above photos.
