Thai woman abused, forced to shave head by cheating husband
A Thai woman is seeking justice after her drug-addicted, unfaithful husband brutally abused and forced her to shave her head.
The man reportedly denied her request for a divorce and even sent pictures and videos of himself having sex with his mistress to his wife.
Chalida Palamart, founder of the Be One organisation, assisted the 29 year old woman, named Onn, and accompanied her to Bang Pakong Police Station yesterday, January 15 to file a complaint against her husband, 33 year old Kittichai.
During the interrogation, Onn revealed that she married Kittichai four years ago and had been suffering from physical abuse ever since. Kittichai often accused her of cheating on him but she had never been unfaithful.
Onn stated that Kittichai was also addicted to drugs and gambling. He would assault her when under the influence of drugs or after losing in gambling games. He also damaged her cars to fund his addictions.
The latest assault occurred on October 24 last year. Kittichai accused Onn of flirting with his friend and brutally attacked her. He then handed her a razor and forced her to shave her head, saying he did not want her to look attractive so she could not have any lovers.
Explicit messages
Onn decided to leave their shared home the following day, October 25, and moved in with her family in the Isaan province of Sakon Nakhon.
However, her abusive husband followed her there and continued to harass her. He also tortured her pet dog until she could no longer stand it and fled to hide in Pattaya.
Despite the couple not being divorced, Kittichai began a relationship with a new woman. Kittichai’s lover then messaged Onn, asking her to divorce Kittichai, which Onn agreed to.
They arranged a meeting to finalise the divorce but Kittichai unexpectedly refused to sign the document. He demanded that Onn pay him 200,000 baht if she wanted the divorce.
Kittichai’s new girlfriend continued to send pictures and videos of herself having sex with Kittichai to Onn. The victim sought a divorce from Kittichai multiple times but he ignored her request. Once, when Onn texted Kittichai about the divorce, he refused to engage with her, saying he was having sex and sending explicit pictures to her.
Kittichai was summoned to the police station yesterday to discuss the divorce. Police acted as mediators in the agreement but officers have not yet updated whether the couple managed to resolve the issue.
