After a delay of more than half a year, "the man had sex in a quasi-new house after the engagement and returned to the banquet defendant **" finally ushered in the first-instance verdict, and the man ** was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison.
In Yanggao County, Datong, Shanxi, Ms. Zhen's son and a woman were introduced to each other by a marriage agency, and the man paid a bride price of 100,000 yuan, and the two parties got engaged, and the engagement banquet promised to take the remaining 100,000 yuan bride price and add the name of the real estate certificate after marriage.
On May 2 this year, the woman held a homecoming banquet, after eating, the two had a relationship in the marriage room, the woman asked for the bride price and name in advance, because it was not cashed in time, 4 days later, the woman reported the man**.
The verdict in the case was originally expected to be pronounced on September 26, but due to the difficulty and complexity of the case, the local court postponed the verdict.
This case is indeed beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and the reason why everyone pays attention to this matter may not only involve legal, economic and other issues, but also may involve morality and ethics.
In this particular case, both parties believe that they are wronged, and some people question whether the woman reported the case after the relationship, or for financial gain or other reasons.
This engagement tragedy may have laid the groundwork on the "engagement and bride price agreement" at the beginning. To put it bluntly, this engagement is more like a marriage transaction, there is no affection between the two people, the bride price, the engagement, and the written agreement is that the woman's name will be added to the real estate certificate one year after marriage.
From beginning to end, it is about talking about the "bride price" and the division of real estate.
The manipulation of the woman's family makes the motive of this farce even more suspicious. The court found through trial that after the incident, in order to facilitate the marriage of the defendant and the victim, the victim's relatives actively communicated with the defendant's relatives, hoping that the defendant and the victim would register their marriage with the Civil Affairs Bureau as soon as possible, and at the same time indicated that in order to reduce the economic pressure on the defendant's family, part of the bride price could be made up.
* After the case occurred, the victim's family also actively promoted the defendant and the victim to register their marriageSome people believe that the woman's family looks ugly. In this incident, it was as if the woman's relatives were all on her side.
This marriage is more like an arranged marriage between parents in an ancient patriarchal society, and the true will of the victim cannot be seen, except for reporting the case to the man**.
People are an end, not a tool. Marriage is a major event in a person's life, and the premise of a stable marriage is that it should have the necessary emotional foundation. Marriage is not a money deal, let alone a means of "coercion".
The man believes that he has been wronged because he has paid the financial price, but he has not received the due return, but he has to suffer the disaster of prison. The woman thinks that she has a grievance because the man failed to fulfill his previous promise, but he was taken advantage of in vain.
This is not only a distorted marital tragedy, but also a physical and mental double torture and blow for both parties.
The law is rational, serious, and even indifferent, as long as the elements of constituting a crime are complete, the chain of evidence is complete, the facts of the crime are conclusive, and the basis for conviction and sentencing is sufficient, then it is not said that the dignity of the law must be defended, and illegal and criminal acts must be punished according to law.
The law protects legal marriage, and this "engagement tragedy" warns society that civil conventions and customs will not be supported by the law. The betrothal also acquiesces in the legitimacy of sexual relations between men and women, which is just wishful thinking.
Women's sexual autonomy must be respected, and women's rights and interests are protected by law and are sacrosanct.
