Sultan of Brunei Revokes Daughter-in-Law's Title
The decree follows conduct officials said was unbecoming and tarnished the monarchy’s name, while the couple’s four children keep their titles.
- On August 7, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah issued a decree stripping daughter-in-law Pengiran Raabi'atul Adawiyyah of all royal titles, announced by Acting Grand Chamberlain Pengiran Haji Raffizanna bin Pengiran Haji Razali via state media.
- Palace officials stated the revocation followed conduct "deemed unbecoming of a spouse of a member of the royal family," with her actions having "tarnished the monarchy's good name" toward the Sultan.
- Raabi'atul, 33, married Prince Abdul Malik, the Sultan's second son, in a 10-day wedding festival in 2015, distinguishing this from prior title revocations by the Sultan linked to divorce.
- Neither the Prince nor his wife has announced plans for divorce, and their four children will retain their royal titles and succession positions in Bandar Seri Begawan.
- This decree marks a unique departure for the House of Bolkiah as it targets a spouse within an ongoing marriage, though the specific behavior prompting the Sultan's decision remains undisclosed.
