THE CEREMONY:
It was first reported by the Russian Islamic newspaper "IslamNews", being quickly virally reproduced by Russian, Malaysian and Islamic media. Nothing was known before the wedding actually happened. Malaysia's King has been abroad for a treatment (and temporary replaced in official functions by his deputy, Sultan Nazrin Shah) since November 2. The ceremony took place at the Barvikha Concert Hall (in Moscow). It was the combination of Malay & Russian, muslim & christian traditions. The groom was dressed in a navy blue baju Melayu (a traditional Malay garb), while the bride wore a 'sparkling' white wedding dress. The reception, which saw the couple dancing in the sound of Romantic performance, was alcohol free, with the guests being served halal food.
The wedding was reported to be a last-moment decision, as pair is said to have already been married in Malaysia, with the bride having conversed to Islam since April 16, and taking the name Rihana Oxana Gorbatenko (with the Malaysian version: Cik Rihana binti Abdullah). The couple also went to a German fertility clinic for "treatment" (according to Oxana's press secretary), both before and after this marriage with rumours spreading that they are preparing for children. Sultan Muhammad V is reportedly anxious to have children, such as till now, at the age of 49, none of his marriages produced a heir to his state (leaving his brother, Muhammad Fa'iz Petra, regent of his state - Kelantan during his five year tenure as Malaysia's 15th King). But let's also find out about the Couple themselves!!
The Newlyweds:
Sultan Muhammad V (with the full name: Muhammad Fariz Petra), was born on October 6, 1969 to Sultan Ismail Petra of Kelantan and Raja Perempuan Tengku Anis Tengku Abdul Hamid. He received an Islamic education in Kuala Lumpur and Oxford, and additionally studied bysiness, development & leadership at universities in UK, Germany and Canada. Muhammad married to Kangsadal Pipitpakdee, a Pattani Princess (from the historical Pattani Sultanate in Northern Malaysia-Southern Thailand) in November 2004, though this marriage didn't produce any children and broke down in 2008. As the Sultan's elder son, Fariz was proclaimed Tengku Mahkota (/Crown Prince) of Kelantan on his sixteenth birthday and succeeded his father, Ismail II, on the Sultanate's throne in 2010, after the later was incapacitated due to a serious stroke a year earlier (see also this former post, which is talking more about it - https://royaleventsintheword.blogspot.com/2018/12/golden-wedding-of-kelantans-former.html?spref=fb&fbclid=IwAR1hXKNAfK09ILq1KmZqPC-InsDFHUcwSa8QpuoXWQiCwGAIJVwDcPmbzrQ). Becoming a deputy Head of state of Malaysia in 2011, Muhammad V was selected the 15th Yang di-Pertuan Agong in 2016 (by the Council of Rulers), for a five-year term. He is the first serving King of Malaysia to reign without a consort (/Raja Permaisuri Agong), the first one with both parents alive (as usually Malay rulers succeed their original Sultanates after their father's death), and the youngest current Malay monarch.
Oksana Andreievna Gorbatenko was born on 20 January 1994, and is a Russian former model and beauty 'Queen'. Her parents are Dr. Andrei Ivanovich Gorbatenko, an orthopaedic surgeon & traumatologist from Rostov-on-Don, and Lyudmila, née Voevodina, a concert pianist & beauty contestant in the early 1990s. She became widely known 3 years ago, when she contested in the beauty pageant of Miss Moscow 2015 and was crowned the winner with vitsal statistics as 33-23-35.
"Needs-to-be-confirmed"
Inspite the fact the marriage was held, and the photogrphs of newlyweds are recognisable, none official source from Malaysia has yet confirmed it. Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, after being asked in a press conference about it a week later, said he doesn't know about the wedding and hasn't any official information, so he "can't say anything". And while many Malaysians are interested about the possibility of a future young Queen (as are the Kelantanans about a possible Raja Perempuan), nothing could be confidentialy said until the King returns from his treatment leave, on January 1, 2019. If abovementioned reports will come out true, and they will welcome a heir in near future, it's possible Sultan Muhammad V will try to 'formalise' him and his mother. Thus, Oksana Voevodina may be elevated to the Royal Consort of Kelantan, and then as Malaysia's Raja Permaisuri Agong. But time will show us more...
