Secrets Behind Divorce Of

Sultan From Scots Wife

WHITE-WOMAN RULE CAUSED COURT JEALOUSY

Singapore.

FREQUENT quarrels over petty things is the reason given for the divorce of sixty-five-year-old six- feet-six-inches-tall multi-millionaire Malayan Sultan Sir Ibrahim of 'Johore and the Sultana, formerly Mrs. Helen Wilson of Glasgow.

The divorce became effective under Moslem law on April 1, three months after the Sultana left Johore, ✨

The Sultan divorced the Sultana by saying "Talak" ("Get out") once to her aboard the P. and O. liner Ran- pura when he bade her farewell.

A special B, "The Sultan's Divorce Enactment," has been introduced in the State Council Johore to meet British legal re- quirements.

There was a reason for "Talak" being uttered only once by the Sultan. Under Moslem law it leaves open the door for the couple to live together again, but a thrice-repeated "Talak" pre- vents reconciliation.
