A 38-year-old man is the first person in Singapore to be convicted of sexually assaulting his wife by penetration, earning him eight years in jail and six strokes of the cane.
“This is not a case involving a power imbalance between the couple, and where the husband had persistently abused, isolated and mistreated his wife or abused her trust and dependency by assaulting her,” said Justice Hoo. On July 12, 2020, the man insisted on moving back to the matrimonial flat, and the woman agreed to let him stay.
Justice Hoo noted that the couple appeared to have a pattern of using sex to resolve their marital issues, and that the assault on July 13, 2020, was an atypical act.
