The defendant was charged with sexually assaulting his wife on three occasions and uttering a threat to cause her death or bodily harm.
The complainant alleged the incidents occurred during their arranged marriage, while the defendant denied the allegations and claimed they were fabricated after he requested a divorce.
The court found the complainant's evidence had a ring of truth but lacked sufficient detail to prove the sexual assaults beyond a reasonable doubt.
The court also strongly condemned defence counsel's reliance on prohibited stereotypes and rape myths during cross-examination and submissions.
Ultimately, the court acquitted the defendant of all charges as the Crown failed to meet its burden of proof.
