Teenage model Manohara Odelia Pinot is clearly matured beyond her years. Married at the age of 17, the French Indonesian lass claimed to have been raped, kidnapped and abused by her 31-year-old royal husband.
Having made a dramatic escape last month, Manohara has since shot to fame in Indonesia and has been offered the starring role in a soap opera by Jakarta film production house Sinemart.
Manohara spoke about her tragic marriage to the Kelantan royal household.
I paraphrase the gist of her story from the first two-parter interview with Malaysiakini.
Manohara related that her marriage was unusual and rather complicated. She first met her husband at a party. He did not even introduce himself to her then. Subsequently they went out for dinner in a group, like casual friends.
As she recalled, one day in August 2008, he called us up and said: “Why don't you guys come down to KL, I'll introduce you to my parents.”
So she thought, “Sure why not? I can go visit Kelantan as well, it would be a nice experience”.
So she stayed for a couple of days and met his parents. Strangely the parents told her that the mufti had said that the prince and she had to get married. At that time she laughed it off as a joke.
Malaysiakini will continue the story in another posting and so I will look out for that.
