Wife may act against ‘divorce via print’

A FISHMONGER, who put a notice in the Chinese newspapers that he had divorced his wife, had been told to settle the matrimonial problem with his spouse or face the legal consequence. 

MCA public service and complaint bureau chief Michael Chong said the fishmonger and his wife were married under Chinese customs without being registered, so the fishmonger could not regain his bachelorhood by declaring through newspapers that he had divorced his wife.
