SINGAPORE — A woman's application for protection against her husband was dismissed by the court, which ruled the man's text messages, where he shared fantasies of wanting to hurt and kill her, did not constitute emotional or psychological abuse.Magistrate Yvette Tay noted in grounds of decision issued on Aug 19 that even though the wife had claimed she was afraid of him, her immediate replies to his messages were that she missed him.Tay said the woman did not appear to display signs of emotional or mental distress or harm. In various text messages, the woman told her husband that she expected him to provide for her and to turn up for family events.She even suggested they take a holiday together.The magistrate added: «The applicant still wanted physical intimacy with the respondent and even sent him intimate photographs of herself.»To make such a request would suggest that the applicant was not fearful of the respondent."The couple, whose ages were not stated in court documents, were married in December 2023 but started living apart less than a year later in October 2024.
