Newly-wedded wife forces husband to write will
To ensure she is the sole benefactor for all his property in any case of mishaps, a just-married Chinese woman wanted her husband to write his will, sign an agreement and buy insurance.
The man told Lianhe Wanbao that after he married the woman from China for a month, she forced him to leave all his assets to her and help her apply for permanent residence in Singapore.
She even used his name to secretly open a massage parlour, which displeased him greatly.
"Obviously, she marries me not because she loves me. Not only did she secure all benefits to this marriage, she exploited me and opened a massage parlour," 48-year-old Su told Wanbao.
"I'm worried that if I continue to be with her, I may be pushed to violate the law."
Mr Su is a factory operator, and this is his second marriage.
He has met his current wife at Chinatown in 2006.
"She has brought her daughter of about 10 years along to Singapore to pursue an education. She was working at a massage parlour in Chinatown, and had approached me on the street with massage services. We even went to a hotel together after that," says Mr Su.
According to Mr Su, he was mesmerised by her beauty, and would frequently visit her in Chinatown every week.
The two grew intimate.
Early this year, his Chinese wife suggested that they registered their marrige, and both decided on September.
He did not expect her to show her true colours just one month into their marriage.
"She even insists that I put her name as well as her daughter's in the housing deed. I regret marrying her," Mr Su expressed.
7 unreasonable requests
After Mr Su left home, he wrote a 26-page diary on his dissatisfaction with his wife.
According to him, his wife from China had stated seven presumptuous demands:
1. Pressurising him to will and state that his wife and daughter will be the only benefactors.
2. The house must include her name, as well as the daughter's. Any member of his family, including his ex-wife and children, are not allowed into the house.
3. Sign an agreement and promise her the ownership of the house.
4. Apply permanent residence for her as soon as possible.
5. Buy insurance to let her be the benefactor.
6. Allowing her to keep the marriage certificate.
7. Insists that he submits his identity card and CPF account number to authorise the opening of the massage parlour.
Her ugly business
Mr Su noted that his wife had used his name and documents to open a massage parlour, and hired female masseuses without work permits.
When he found out about her illegal acts, she threatened him with a knife.
He said that he was afraid that his wife was dragged into this business unknowingly, hence had gone to cancel the license of the shop.
His wife got very angry.
"Luckily, our argument was overheard by the neighbours, and they came just in time to stop us," Mr Su said.
Ever since this incident, Mr Su reported that he was physically abused by his wife every night, resulting in a physical and mental breakdown.
She spent over $100,000 of his husband's money
In a rare streak of luck, Mr Su won the lottery four times in a year, winning over $100,000, but this sum had been squandered by his wife, he said.
To sustain her infinite demands, he even applied for a credit card and a personal loan for his wife.
As a result, he was now burdened with debts.
"When we weren't married yet, I gave her $1,000 every month as allowance. I was also responsible for her daughter's school fees and all living expenses, spending over $4,000 on the mother and child."
He fears going home
After the knife threatening episode, Mr Su was afraid to go home and had been living with his mother.
"I promised her initially that I would accompany her to China to visit her relatives in December, but after all these abuse, my family persuaded me not to go to China with her - just in case anything happens to me in a foreign land where I am unable to call for help."
Regretting his marriage, Mr Su wants a divorce as soon as possible.
"But because of the short period of time we have been married, my request for divorce was rejected. Instead, arrangement was made for us to see a marriage counsellor.
