SINGAPORE — A family court has granted a divorce to a woman who claimed her healthy relationship had deteriorated due to her husband's controlling conduct.
The man, on the other hand, said the marriage had not broken down and that his conduct, cited as unreasonable, was part and parcel of married life, especially over a long marriage.
They had a fairly good relationship at the start of their marriage, with family time that was"well spent" with their sons. The man had a view of his marriage and family life that was"diagrammatically opposed to his wife's", noted the judge.He maintained that his conduct fell short of unreasonable, and said it was part and parcel of married life, especially over a long marriage. He defended his actions as nothing more than a desire for family bonding and unity.
Judge Kang said the husband in this case was not abusive as in another case, but pointed to his cumulative behaviour of being controlling and dictating to his wife and family, as well as the effect it had on his wife. However, Judge Kang said the converse is also true. After hearing the evidence of the younger son, she said it was unhealthy for the two youths to be treated"like toddlers who were given instructions to comply rigidly to meal times and fixed routines".
