On February 21, CCTV's "Law Lecture (Life Edition)" program broadcast a case, which attracted widespread attention. In this case, a nephew went to get a haircut on the second day of the first lunar month, but his uncle died in a car accident that night. In addition to grief, the aunt actually sued her nephew in court, accusing him of "intentional homicide" and demanding 1 million compensation. As soon as the case came out, there was an uproar, and netizens expressed their opinions one after another.
According to reports, the case occurred in a certain city, and his nephew Xiao Liu went to the barber shop to get a haircut on the second day of the first lunar month. However, his uncle died in a car accident on his way home that night.
Nephew Xiao Liu's parents divorced when he was a child and lived with his mother. The uncle, who was engaged in truck transportation, saw that Liu had no father to discipline him, and was afraid that he would go down the wrong path when he grew up, so he usually restrained him more. The uncle's education level is not high, and he is busy driving a truck, so the discipline method can be said to be simple and rude. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my uncle went to my sister's house to pay New Year's greetings, and when I entered the door, I saw Liu's sloppy image playing with his mobile phone, so he frowned and said, "Why is your hair like a chicken nest." Xiao Liu turned a blind eye to his uncle's preaching, which angered his uncle even more. Uncle accused Xiao Liu of "ignoring my head before the New Year, and seeing your image in the New Year affects my fortune." These words inspired the conflict between the two, and the two had a quarrel, and Liu immediately went out to get a haircut. After the haircut, Xiao Liu went to find a party with friends, and it was not until the next day that he learned that his uncle died in a car accident while riding a drunk bicycle last night, and immediately went to mourn.
After the uncle's funeral was done, after the aunt found out that Liu had a haircut, the two had a fierce conflict, and the aunt was in grief and thought that Xiao Liu's haircut in the first month caused the uncle to suffer a car accident. His aunt threatened to go to the Public Security Bureau to accuse him of intentional homicide. Therefore, she took Xiao Liu to court, accusing him of "intentional homicide" and demanding 1 million in compensation.
The case has attracted widespread attention and discussion. Some people think that my aunt's accusations are far-fetched, because folk beliefs have no scientific basis and cannot be used as a basis for legal judgments. At the same time, some people think that it is understandable that my aunt has lost her relatives, but it is not reasonable to blame Xiao Liu completely. In this case, should Xiao Liu bear legal responsibility?
From a legal point of view, Xiao Liu should not bear any legal responsibility. Because according to the relevant legal provisions, the crime of intentional homicide refers to the intentional and unlawful deprivation of the life of another person. In this case, Xiao Liu did not commit any illegal acts, nor did he deliberately deprive his uncle of his life. My aunt's accusations are clearly groundless and factual and lawless.
In addition, from the point of view of folk beliefs, the New Year's haircut is a common folk belief. However, this belief has no scientific basis and cannot be used as a basis for legal judgment. Therefore, Xiao Liu's actions did not violate any legal provisions or folk beliefs.
This case has also sparked reflections on the relationship between folk beliefs and law. Folk beliefs have a lot of influence in people's lives, but in some cases, they can conflict with legal provisions. In this case, how should we deal with it?
According to the relevant information, the statement that "the dead uncle who got a haircut in the first month" actually originated from the custom of the Han people who missed the Ming Dynasty and did not cut their hair in the first month during the Qing Dynasty, which is a homonym for "thinking of the old", and finally evolved into the scruple of "dead uncle".
