Daryl Lim Chun Leng, 25, was jailed for a week on December 22 after making a false claim that his wife refused to consummate with him.
He stated that his wife, PRC national Wang Kechen had refused to make love to him and he used this reason as the basis for annulment.
It was believed that they got married in 2017 and they engaged in consensual love making several times between January and July that year.
But the couple started to face problem when Ms Wang found out that Lim was having an affair.
Lim then proceeded to ask Ms Wang to annul the marriage on the basis that they had not consummated it, saying this would be cheaper and both parties could avoid having a “divorcee status”.
In return, he promised to maintain appearances in front of her parents and to agree to her future requests.
There was no detail on how the offence came to light but it is believed that Ms Wang has since returned to China.
