A twenty-year-old woman was caught sleeping in a room with her boyfriend although her family, including her grandmother, was in the same house at the time, reported Harian Metro.

The Malacca Islamic Religious Department (Jaim) enforcement officers caught the woman with her 26-year-old boyfriend in a room in her family home in Masjid Tanah.

In the house during the 1.30am raid on Tuesday were the woman’s father aged 49, mother, 46, grandmother, 78, and younger sister, 19.

The religious authorities raided the house upon receiving a tip-off.

Jaim enforcement chief Rahimin Bani was quoted as saying that the couple were detained under Section 53 of the Malacca Syariah Offences Enactment.

If found guilty, the offender is liable to a RM3,000 fine, a two-year jail term or both.
