Man disallows daughter to wear underwear, loses custody

[MarrickG]

SINGAPORE - A man lost custody of his daughter to his wife after it was discovered that he refused to let her wear underwear to school.

Court documents revealed that the Serbian family had migrated to Singapore in June, 2006, a Shin Min report said on Wednesday.

The Chinese evening daily said that the couple subsequently divorced in November, 2008 and the husband obtained full custodial rights to the daughter.

But after staying in Singapore for three years, the wife decided to apply for the custody of their daughter on the basis that her husband had neglected to take good care of their child.

According to the wife's account, the husband had refused to let the daughter wear underwear to school on many occassions. She also claimed that the father failed to pay the daughter's school fees on time, thus preventing her from going to school.

Among other things, the wife also argued that the daughter had an urgent illness which required an operation. However the husband did not seek medical attention for her until much later.

Court documents also showed that the husband alleged the daughter was afraid of living together with the wife and her ex-husband and her 11-year-old stepsister. But the court found that this was untrue.

In January 2010, the court decided to award custody of the daughter to the wife, with the husband having the right to visit the child only under supervision. The husband's appeal was rejected.

In the ruling, the judge noted that the husband's application for a personal protection order for his daughter against his wife was rejected seven times. The judge also noted that investigations revealed nothing to support the husband's claim that the wife had abused their daughter.

... he refused to let her wear underwear to school.

Why

I'm surprised our local media didn't give a reason for the father's refusal?

Was it for religious reasons, to save money, another IMH case, or what

Either the wife fabricated rubbish to fool PAP's Kangaroo court or the girl try to wear G-string or something, forcing father to impose a crude rule.

Panties can cause infection for women. Maybe the daughter is still very young.

Heard that some boys underwear & bicycle seats cut the circulation giving future problems with impotence

However I think in those old days kampong folks were poor & only started buying clothes when necessary. If the PAP keeps increasing prices we may have to revive some old practices

Understanding that the wife got AWARE lawyer to representing her.
No way the husband can be winning the case because the WOMENS CHARTER is advantage to the wife.

in the first place, how did the husband get custody of the child? Usu, the mother is given custody by default unless there are circumstances against it. So, there must be some bad reasons against the mother getting custody in the first place - are such factors still present today or compared to the behaviour of the father - they are the lesser evils?
