Should it have happened in Singapore, could Anas’ wife file for divorce against him using the ground of adultery? Is his “confession” good proof of adultery in divorce Singapore? Adultery happens when one party voluntary engages in sex with a third party. Anas

Probably not. The standard of proof of adultery in divorce Singapore is high. While Anas referred to a “girlfriend”, there was no further elaboration.

Good proof of adultery in divorce Singapore include the following:

Confession;
Direct evidence- for instance having a witness;
Indirect evidence- for instance a strong private investigator’s report (PI report); and
A child born to one party and the child is not a child of the marriage.

Using unreasonable behaviour– improper association as reason for divorce

If there is insufficient proof of adultery in divorce Singapore, you may wish to proceed with the divorce based on the unreasonable behaviour of your spouse. It may be easier to prove improper association with a third party, than outright adultery.
