Second wife's photo taken down<\/p>\n
BRUNEI: The people of Brunei have begun taking down portraits of
\nSultan Hassanal Bolkiah's second wife from shops and offices
\nafter their divorce was announced, witnesses said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
An announcement on state-run television late Sunday said
\nBrunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has divorced his second wife,
\nformer flight stewardess Mariam Abdul Aziz, and ordered all her
\nroyal titles to be withdrawn.<\/p>\n
Many citizens of this oil-rich sultanate could be seen taking
\ndown portraits of Bolkiah's second wife, traditionally placed on
\nthe left side of the Sultan's picture.<\/p>\n
In largely Muslim Brunei, where the sultan rules as an
\nabsolute monarch, the portraits of Bolkiah's two wives hung
\nalongside his own picture in commercial outlets and government
\noffices. Wife number one has her portrait on the right side. The
\nportrait of wife number two was on the left side and placed
\nslightly lower than the first wife. --AFP<\/p>",
