A Muslim woman who worked as a model was today sentenced to be whipped six times and pay a fine of RM5,000 for consuming alcohol last year.


 The punishment was meted out by the Kuantan Syariah High Court after Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarnor, 32, pleaded guilty.


 She will face a three-year jail term if she failed to pay the fine, said syariah judge Abdul Rahman Yunus.


 Kartika, from Sungai Siput, Perak, was accused of consuming beer at Cherating Bay Lounge, the Legend Hotel in Cherating, Pahang at about 11.40pm on July 11 last year.


 She was charged under Section 136 of the Pahang Administration of the Islam Law and Malay Custom Enactment.


 According to
 
 Bernama
 
 , Kartika cried when the judgment was delivered.


 She also told the court that she would be appealing the decision.


 She was represented by Mohd Zuki Che Mat Ghani while syariah deputy public prosecutor Saiful Idham Sahimi prosecuted.

 In another matter, a &lsquo;football widow' has been remanded for five days for stabbing her husband for coming home late after watching the friendly match between Manchester United and the Malaysian team on Saturday night.


 Her injured 26-year-old husband who was stabbed on the chest is being treated at Kuala Lumpur Hospital. He is said to be in stable condition.


 Ampang Jaya police chief Abdul Jalil Hassan said the woman, in her 20's, was believed to be incensed when her husband broke his promise to return home immediately after the football match on Saturday, but arrived home at 2am (Sunday) instead.


 She is remanded to assist in the police investigation under Section 326 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing grievous hurt with a dangerous weapon.


 A &lsquo;football widow' is a term used for those who pay more attention to the game than to their partner.


 For the record, Malaysian national team was narrowly defeated 3-2 by the champions of England.
