Шпигунка у пологовому: дружина розкрила таємний шлюб чоловіка в лікарні.

A man from India, Vaithialingam Muthukumar, married his Singaporean wife in 2007 but later cheated on her by marrying another woman, Salmah Bee Abdul Razak, in secret. Salmah was aware of his first marriage. In 2022, Muthukumar secretly married Salmah with a promise to divorce his first wife. However, he was caught when Salmah got pregnant and was rushed to the hospital where his first wife worked.

Як повідомляє The Sun: Мешканець Індії Вайтіялінгам Мутукумар, одружившись зі своєю дружиною з Сінгапуру у 2007 році, пізніше зрадив її, одружившись з іншою жінкою, Салмою Бі Абдул Разак, у таємниці. Салма була свідома його першого шлюбу. У 2022 році Мутукумар таємно одружився з Салмою з обіцянкою розлучитися з першою дружиною. Проте він був пійманий, коли Салма забереміла і була доставлена до лікарні, де працювала його перша дружина.

Мутукумар був помічений виходячи з відділення пологів лікарні, куди гостям було заборонено заходити, його першою дружиною. Він визнался у таємному шлюбі, що призвело до поліцейського розслідування. Також виявилося, що він брехав у документах на імміграційний статус під час подачі заявки на постійне проживання в Сінгапурі як чоловік громадянки Сінгапуру, що призвело до відхилення його заявки.

Muthukumar pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to commit bigamy and making false declarations on his permanent residency application. He was sentenced to three months and three weeks in jail by a Singaporean court. Bigamy is a criminal offense in Singapore with a maximum penalty of seven years in prison and a fine of up to $7,800.

Another case of bigamy involved a British man, John Ingram, who married his 16-year-old stepdaughter while still married to her mother. Ingram went on to have children with both his wife and stepdaughter, with many of the children unaware of his identity as their father. His deception was uncovered 32 years later in 2020, and he faced a possible seven-year sentence but was ultimately given a two-year community order and a fine.

Bigamy is illegal in Singapore for non-Muslims, governed under the Women's Charter. The law considers marrying another person while still legally married as void and punishable. Penalties for non-Muslims can include imprisonment of up to seven years and fines. Exceptions are made in cases of void previous marriages or missing spouses presumed dead. In Singapore, bigamy carries significant legal and reputational consequences.
