You can also see this case in main stream media of Singapore today:

A 19-year-old girl has taken her marriage frustrations to Facebook after her husband allegedly beat her up ruthlessly. She also claims to be two months pregnant. The petite girl posted three videos showing CCTV footage which captured scenes of her husband bashing her and being aggressive toward her mother. 
It is unclear what the argument was triggered by. The woman said that she tried to escape by reaching for the door release button but was obstructed by her husband. In the videos, the young man can be seen pulling her hair, slamming her on the floor, sitting on her, choking her and dragging her across the room.

It was something that I should not have done. I regret it". Here in Man in viral wife-beating video speaks up article, he tells his side of the story.
