Pregnant Thai woman accuses husband of domestic violence
A 32 year old woman accused her new husband of domestic violence in front of her three year old son.
The incident left her unconscious with a broken jaw and nose. The victim, A, who is three months pregnant with her husband, Sommai’s child, expressed a desire to leave the relationship but fears for her safety due to Sommai’s threats to harm her and her family.
She claims Sommai has a high sexual appetite, demanding intercourse at least three times daily and often resorting to biting, choking, or pulling her hair if she refuses. She also reported that Sommai’s previous wife left him, possibly due to similar issues.
Today, February 4, Sommai reached out to clarify the situation, leading reporters to visit his residence in Bang Nam Priao district, Chachoengsao province. Sommai admitted to having frequent sexual relations with A, considering it normal in a family setting.
He asserted that A consented every time they engaged in intercourse. Sommai confessed to injuring A due to personal pressures and feeling unaccepted by A’s family.
Sommai explained that he had tried several times to communicate and resolve issues but to no avail. On the day of the incident, he had consumed several bottles of beer before visiting A’s home in Mueang Chachoengsao district.
The violence ensued when they failed to reach an understanding and A attempted to walk away, causing Sommai to react impulsively.
After the incident, Sommai sent his sister to check on A’s condition and provide her with money for sustenance. He professed his love for A, expressing a desire for her to live with him and enjoy a better life.
Sommai claimed to be the family’s breadwinner, as A is unemployed and he has supported her throughout.
He refuted allegations of threatening violence if they separated, citing his age and responsibilities as reasons not to take such risks. Sommai acknowledged that if A decides to pursue legal action, he is prepared to face the consequences according to the law, reported KhaoSod.
He expressed willingness to cover her medical expenses, though he admitted he needs to gather funds first, as his current finances have been spent on supporting A.
