An overseas-born minor (child) may be eligible for Singapore Citizenship by Descent under Article 122(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore, if his/her parents meet any of the following conditions:
Male Singapore citizen by Birth who has a lawful marriage at time of minor's birth
Male Singapore citizen by Registration who has a lawful marriage at time of minor's birth and minor does not acquire citizenship of the country he was born by reason of his birth in that country
Female Singapore citizen by Birth and minor born on or after 15 May 2004
Female Singapore citizen by Registration and minor born on or after 15 May 2004. Minor shall not acquire citizenship of the country he was born by reason of his birth in that country
Male (who has a lawful marriage at time of minor's birth) or Female Singapore citizen by Descent has to declare their residence period in Singapore. The application can only be accepted if the parent fulfils the requirements stipulated in the Annex.
The key is 'lawful marriage' ... where the father is a Citizen
The above can be bypassed in certain countries .  . father of child inserts his name as father and signs the birth cert, and then retrospectively gets his marriage validated in that country, then notifies MFA, and voila, he is 'lawfully' married at the time of child's birth.
And money talks in many other countries, for a fee, the father's signature can be affixed without even him being there :P

Key word is 'may'.
The maids marriage wif sporean will always b lawful.
Even if they can ROM.
Dun think ROM will stop them.
Problem is wad happens after that. Spore gov will block them.
And your retrospective marriage example is unlawful marriage. If they find out, husband go jail n child Probably lose citizenship.
