Half of the 50 pro bono cases handled by Hainan Hwee Kuan involve them
A SINGAPORE clan association has started a free legal service that has been inundated by brides from Hainan island in China who need help dealing with their abusive or deadbeat Singaporean husbands.
The Hainan Hwee Kuan has handled about 50 pro bono cases since March and at least half involved Hainan brides.
Mr Thomas Foo, the clan association's president, thinks even more Hainan brides may need legal aid, considering that there are about 10,000 of them here now.
