Edika and Nor Hidayah part ways after 22 years
Compiled by BENJAMIN LEE, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN THE 22-year inspiring love story of actor Edika Yusof and his wife Nor Hidayah Yusri has come to an end as the pair have officially divorced, reported Sinar Harian. Edika pronounced the divorce with a single talak against Nor Hidayah at the Federal Territory Syariah Court on May 5. Edika appeared sombre, while Nor Hidayah, who was wheelchair-bound, was seen shedding tears as she exited the courtroom. The couple's story previously touched the hearts of many when it was revealed that Edika had taken care of Hidayah after she became partially paralysed from giving birth to their second child 16 years ago. The couple have three children – Nazirul Afiq, Fardeen Nasrulhaq and Fereena Nurulhaq. > What was initially thought to be a joyous occasion turned into despair for a woman in Baling, Kedah, after she learned that her bloated belly is not due to pregnancy but stage four liver cancer, reported Harian Metro. Norsiah Hashim, 35, first noticed her abdomen becoming increasingly enlarged over the course of a year and thought it was due to pregnancy with her husband Mohd Zaki Md Isa. But her world turned upside down when a medical examination diagnosed her with liver cancer instead, which led to her stomach being filled with fluid. 'Doctors confirmed that I had liver cancer after noticing swelling in both my legs, and both my kidneys were also problematic. The diagnosis came as a shock.' No reprieve is in sight for Norsiah either as her 36-year-old husband is also suffering from chronic kidney disease which caused him to faint often and forced him to quit his work as a driver. 'Because of this, we have lost our source of income and now rely solely on monthly financial aid from the Kedah Zakat Board for food and transportation costs to and from the hospital,' she said.

#SHOWBIZ: Edika Yusof, Nor Hidayah divorced with single talak
KUALA LUMPUR: The 20-year marriage between actor Edika Yusof and Nor Hidayah Yusri ended today with a single pronouncement of talak (divorce) at the Federal Territory Syariah Lower Court here, at 10.42am. Edika, whose full name is Mohd Yusof Abd Majid, 58, recited the pronouncement before Syariah Judge Syed Muhammad Syahadi Syed Siksh. "I agree to release the plaintiff (Nor Hidayah)," Edika confirmed when questioned by the judge at the start of the proceedings. The judge accepted the pronouncement and formally dissolved the marriage under Section 47 of the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984. When asked if he had any final words for his now former wife, Edika replied in the negative. Nor Hidayah, 47, in her final statement, tearfully appealed for Edika's understanding. "As a wife, I have always acknowledged the good he has done, and my decisions are based on the law. I know I could have endured until the end, but legal considerations have led me to this decision. I hope he (Edika) understands," she said. Following this, Edika and Nor Hidayah shook hands before the formal pronouncement of the divorce. On March 24, Nor Hidayah's lawyer, Mohd Yazid Hazim of Messrs Yazid Azuhan & Associates, confirmed that she had filed for divorce in mid-February. According to Yazid, the court set today's date for the divorce after an earlier postponement due to Nor Hidayah's then-current state. Yazid also stated that Nor Hidayah's divorce application cited 10 grounds, which he declined to disclose in detail, citing privacy concerns. Edika and Nor Hidayah were married in 2003 and have two children: Fardeen Nasrulhaq, 21, and Fereena Nurulhaq, 20. The couple previously garnered public attention for Edika's dedication in caring for Nor Hidayah, who was partially paralysed after the birth of their second child.
