This comes after her lawyer, Nazri Yahya, failed to meet the judge to appeal for a delay in serving the jail sentence.
Emilia, clad in a white jubah, had surrendered herself to the shariah court at 10am.
She was accompanied by Nazri, lawyer and activist Siti Kasim and several supporters.

Her brother, Ezhan Shahril, told reporters he had sent a letter of appeal to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on her behalf three months ago.
In an earlier ruling regarding visitation rights, Kuala Lumpur Shariah High Court judge Fouzi Mokhtar said Emilia was sentenced to jail because she had failed to produce her children before Faisal despite a court order.
Fouzi said the seven-day sentence against Emilia was warranted as she had wilfully gone against the consent judgment recorded.
In an interview with FMT published today, SM Faisal said he had been traumatised not having been able to spend time with his children for the past six years, including during Hari Raya and their birthdays.
In response, Siti Kasim claimed that it was SM Faisal who had failed to appear to meet his children as scheduled. - FMT
