Marital agreement for hubby to keep a mistress valid, court rules


KUALA LUMPUR: A postnuptial agreement between a husband and wife allowing him to keep a mistress during their marriage has been deemed valid by the High Court here.

Justice Evrol Mariette Peters, in her decision, said the wife, a Singaporean woman (the petitioner) in her 50s, voluntarily signed the marital agreement where she explicitly accorded permission for the husband (the respondent), a businessman in his 60s, to maintain a relationship with one mistress at any given time.
