Sun said: “In 2019, in line with the committee’s recommendation, we fully repealed marital immunity for rape. This year, for the first time, we convicted a man for the sexual assault of his wife.” This was when marital rape was recognised under certain circumstances which signalled a breakdown in the marriage, such as if the couple were living apart under an interim judgment of divorce or the wife had a personal protection order against her husband.
Husbands do not have any marital immunity for sexually assaulting their wives by penetration, lawyers say. A spokesman for the Ministry of Home Affairs told ST that the 38-year-old man is the only person convicted of sexually assaulting his wife by penetration since marital immunity for rape was fully repealed and the law came into effect in 2020.Social workers and lawyers point out that marital rape and sexual assault by penetration usually occur together with other forms of domestic violence, and victims fear reporting the sexual abuse for multiple reasons.
She said: “They still think that the marriage certificate is an all-access pass when it comes to sex. Besides, they fear being ostracised by family, friends and the community as they may feel that things that happen in the bedroom are not meant to be shared in the open.” They include a foreign wife who was beaten repeatedly by her husband to the point that she ended up in hospital.
