PETALING JAYA: Despite being under siege, the infamous “forbidden couple” of Kelantan managed to dash out of their house before the arrival of religious enforcement officers. The couple have now gone into hiding.
A group of 20 people had been camping overnight outside the house of former Kelantan PAS Youth information chief Dr Rosli Allani Abd Kadir, 35, in Telipot near Kota Baru but they failed to prevent him from fleeing with his 30-year-old second wife Ilyani Mohd Noor at about 10.30am yesterday.
Dr Rosli had been ordered by the Kota Baru Syariah High Court to stay separately from Illyani pending a decision on the validity of their marriage.

The group, which was led by llyani’s father Mohd Noor Che Man, had gathered around Dr Rosli’s house since 3pm on Monday.
Mohd Noor had earlier yesterday gone to the court to get a copy of the interim mufarakah (separation) order.
The order, which was signed by Kelantan Syariah High Court judge Mohamed Yusoff Awang, was then given to an enforcement officer.
“When I returned, my daughter had fled with Dr Rosli,” Mohd Noor said.
He said the group could not physically restrain the couple because they were not enforcement officers.
“If the enforcement officers had come earlier, they would have been nabbed,” he said.
Mohd Noor had initiated legal action after learning that his daughter’s marriage certificate dated Dec 26, 2008 could be a fake.
He said he was not aware of the “wedding” until about eight months later, adding that he had advised his daughter not to wed a married man.
“I am doing all this because I do not want my daughter to live in sin. We leave it to the court to decide on the validity of the marriage,” he said.
Mohd Noor said his daughter claimed that they had solemnised their wedding again in southern Thailand.
“But she could not show me the marriage certificate,” he said.
