A 45-year-old security guard, Mr Lin, thought he had married the woman of his dreams, only to find out later that she was a prostitute.
The couple got to know each other through a marriage and dating agency.
After meeting his wife, a divorcee from China for three times, they decided to register their marriage.
However, before they had a chance to consummate their marriage, Mr Lin was shocked to be informed that his wife was arrested for prostituting in Geylang.
"I was looking for companionship and she looked very demure. We had a lot to talk about and got along well", said Mr Lin.
Although they only met thrice consecutively over 3 days, he was swept off his feet by her sweet talk and they decided to get married.
Mr Lin said that although they registered their marriage on 5 July 2010, they did not live together.
After his bride got approval to extend her stay in Singapore, she became cold towards Mr Lin and they only met four times thereafter.
It was only in 7 January this year that he received a call from the police where he learnt that his wife was arrested for illegal prostitution and deported back to China.
"Police said that she was caught in Geylang, and a "client" testified that she was prostituting. I never expected that I would marry a prostitute." said Mr Lin.
