  3. Fact 1: Definition of Adultery Sexual Relationship: Marriage: Adultery applies only to individuals who are legally married. Therefore, it does not concern those who are in non-marital relationships or partnerships. Therefore, the relationship must involve sexual activity. Emotional or romantic relationships without physical intimacy do not count as adultery.

  4. Fact 2: Adultery as Grounds for Divorce • Adultery can be a genuine reason for divorce in Singapore. However, there have to be certain legal requirements that have to be satisfied: • Proof of Adultery: To use adultery as a ground for divorce, one must provide evidence. This evidence must show that the spouse has engaged in a sexual relationship with another person. • Impact on Marriage: Additionally, it must be proven that the adultery has caused the marriage to break down irretrievably. This means that the affected spouse must show that the marriage cannot continue because of the adultery.

Courts consider the conduct of both spouses when deciding how to split property and financial assets. The impact of adultery on child custody arrangements is also significant. Courts focus on the best interests of the children, but adultery can affect perceptions of parental responsibility and suitability. Adultery may affect financial settlements, including alimony and maintenance payments. The court may consider the nature of the adultery when deciding on these financial matters.
