Unfortunately, there is some loopholes in our laws and many Singaporeans MAY be already having two wives.
I heard of a man living in the North. He has two wives. 1st wife Singapore. 2nd wife PRC. He knows this PRC lady for 12 years. I believe they started off as mistress. He visited her twice a week. He was cheating his 1st wife all these 12 years and he was also cheating the 2nd wife. This year, he divorced his wife, and married the 2nd wife. He sold off all his assets. But he remains staying with his 1st wife. He go to the 2nd wife about twice a week ( 5nights with 1st wife and 2 nights with 2nd wife). The 2nd wife unhappy but she has helpful. She approached Police and other government agencies but none could help her as this is a family matter. She consulted lawyers and lawyers also cannot help. Now, the man no longer come anymore. She is helpless. She managed to trace him to his mistress apartment and they quarrelled. Police came and told her to leave as her husband can sleep and live anywhere. He is an adult and he may do what he likes. Police will arrest her if she stay. This is perfectly legal to have two wives. She cannot sue as her married is under 3 years and she does not have the means for legal fees. Being foreigner, she is not entitled to free legal aid. If you want two wives, it is possible, like this old man exploiting the laws and bullying a helpless foreigner. Does she has any options?
