In the rape case of Xi Moumou in Yanggao County, Datong City, Shanxi Province, the man was finally sentenced to three years in prison, and according to the presiding judge of this case, Xi Moumou has indeed constituted a crime, and it is not unjust to be sentenced to three years.

But I think the woman is actually quite pitiful, pathetic and helpless. The whole incident even exposed the shortcomings of our Chinese folk marriage customs and Xi, which can be used as a typical lesson to be learned.

Marriage requires a large bride price

Digging deep into the root cause, three facts have caused controversy

1. On January 30, 2023, Xi Moumou and the woman began to fall in love after being introduced to each other by a marriage agency. According to insiders, the relationship between the two was okay at first, but later for various reasons, it seemed that the woman was not very satisfied with Xi Moumou, but due to the efforts of the two families, they have always maintained a relationship. This can be seen from the woman's refusal to make love with Xi Moumou, to put it bluntly, the woman actually does not love Xi Moumou, and seems to be suspected of marrying for the sake of marriage. Since you don't love, why do you want to get engaged, so it causes controversy.

It seems that the relationship between the two people is not very good

2. During the exchange, the two parties orally agreed on an engagement bride price of 188,000 yuan. On May 1, Xi's family held an engagement ceremony for the two, and paid a bride price of 100,000 yuan and a 7.2-gram ring on the same day. At the same time, Xi Moumou and his parents promised in writing to add the woman's name to the house ownership certificate after one year of marriage. But there is a gap between this result and the original agreement, and the woman and her family can only accept it aggrievedly, in fact, they are very unhappy. After all, the original oral bride price is still 88,000 yuan in arrears, and the 7.2-gram ring is not even worth 5,000 yuan. Therefore, as the woman herself and her parents, there are still quite a few complaints in secret, and the two sides are controversial.

"Bride Price Agreement" signed by both parties

3. What is surprising is that after the incident, the woman's relatives were still actively communicating with Xi's relatives in order to promote the marriage between the two parties, hoping that Xi Moumou and the woman would register their marriage with the Civil Affairs Bureau as soon as possible, and at the same time said that in order to reduce the economic pressure on Xi's family, part of the bride price could be made up, but in the end, the negotiation between the two parties failed. It's very interesting here, Xi has been arrested, but the woman's family is still talking about money, and the two of them have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage, isn't it contradictory. So what are their real intentions? But I don't want to discuss the reasons here, I don't think there is any need to continue this family business.

A statement issued by Yanggao County

In fact, the contradictions, controversies and ins and outs of the whole matter are inseparable from the bride price, that is, the issue of "money". Is the relationship between the woman and Xi Moumou really based on love, the editor has a negative opinion. The actions of the woman's parents not only killed their daughter, but also were ridiculed by local insiders, which they did not expect.

In today's Chinese folk marriage customs, the man needs to prepare a large "bride price" to give to the woman, which has long become a helpless and sad custom, and can even be said to be a bad Xi. In some areas, the bride price is rising every year, and millions of bride prices are not uncommon. Even in the relatively poor areas of the mainland, especially in the rural areas, it costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, which brings a heavy burden to ordinary families who are already in difficulty.

Rural wedding scene

As the victim of this case, the woman obviously did not love Xi Moumou, but because the marriage room was calling and the bride price was attractive, she reluctantly got engaged to Xi Moumou with the help of her family. However, the woman's heart is very straightforward, and her mind is also very simple, and she is reluctant to be touched even if she doesn't love someone, let alone have sex. Xi Moumou thought that he could mess around after paying a deposit, but he didn't expect to end up in a prison cell.

If Xi was impulsive and did something illegal, it was really self-inflicted, then the woman in this case is actually even more pathetic. Because she lost her way in dealing with the question of which is more important, love or money, blindly obeyed her parents' arrangements, and got engaged to someone she didn't love, and in the end she was hurt herself.

Xi was sentenced to three years in prison

The "engagement rape case" incident shows that there is a serious deviation in the concept of love and marriage in today's society. And what exactly is the purpose of the bride price? It is nothing more than to show it to relatives and friends! If other people's families have more bride price and more dowry, we cannot afford to be less here, and we cannot be compared. If you give less, you are disrespectful, you look down on people, and you are insincere. As a result, when a young man gets married, the house alone is almost bankrupt, and then a set of bride price that smells of feudal rancidity is made, how many families have a lot of debts for their children to get married?

Do you agree with me?
