What is rape called?
Rape is the act of forcibly having sexual relations with a woman against her will by force, coercion or other means.
On December 25, the Yanggao County People's Court publicly pronounced a verdict in a rape case in accordance with the law, and the defendant Xi Moumou was sentenced to three years in prison in the first instance for committing rape.
Why does a rape case generate such a large-scale discussion on the whole network?
It all started at the beginning of 2023.
On January 30, 2023, the 27-year-old defendant Xi XX in Datong, Shanxi Province, was introduced by a marriage agency to meet the 24-year-old victim's woman, and the two quickly came together.
On May 1, the two got engaged, and Xi Moumou gave the woman a bride price of 100,000 yuan and a 7.2-gram gold ring, and agreed that the remaining 100,000 yuan would be made up when the official marriage was made.
At the same time, he also promised that after a year of marriage, he would add the woman's name to the real estate certificate of the marriage house with an area of more than 90 square meters.
Things were normal until the day after the engagement.
According to the Xi of the woman's family, a homecoming banquet was held on the second day of the engagement, and after the banquet, the two prospective newlyweds returned to Xi's marriage room on the 14th floor of a building in a community in Yanggao County, and had sex that night.
The common feelings of men and women lovers, if you love me, naturally no one will say anything, but the problem is that the woman is not willing.
Xi, who thought that he would be a family after the engagement, asked the woman to have sex, but the woman did not agree, saying that she did not accept premarital sex and would wait until after marriage.
As a result, Xi Moumou ignored the woman's opposition and resistance, and forcibly had sex with the woman.
Afterwards, the emotional woman directly lit all the cabinets and curtains in the bedroom, and then rushed out of the door and went down to the 13th floor through the stairs to shout "help", but was forcibly dragged back to the house by Xi.
During this period, Xi also took the woman's mobile phone, and on the way to send the woman home, he received a call from the woman's mother, and then returned the mobile phone to the woman.
After returning home, the woman chose to report to the public security organs.
Subsequently, the police filed a case, and Xi Moumou was criminally detained.
After investigators examined the woman's body, it was found that she had bruises on her left and right arms and right wrists;
The investigation of the scene is also in line with the woman's statement, and the community monitoring also shows that the woman was dragged back to the 14th floor by Xi when she ran to the 13th floor to call for help.
After that, the investigators questioned the murdered woman, and she made it clear that she had told Xi Moumou that she was against premarital sex, but Xi Moumou still insisted on going her own way.
On August 20, 2023, a news titled "Engaged After Relationship, Man Accused of Rape, Man's Family: Because the House Book Didn't Add the Woman's Name" was exposed on the Internet, which immediately caused an uproar.
For a while, the issue of bride price, the issue of adding names to the marriage room, and the issue of gender opposition were all turned out, and netizens turned into righteous people one by one, and they stood up to criticize the woman.
Some said that the woman was "cheating on marriage for the bride price", some said that she was "colluding with the marriage agency to earn the man's referral fee", and even more conclusively said that the woman was "blackmailing by accusing her of rape".
Xi's mother also said in the media, "They are in a cohabitation relationship, and they have had many relationships before. ”
For a time, all the spearheads were aimed at the woman.
For a time, the Internet was full of emotional masters who served justice, saying that this case had destroyed the most basic bond of trust between men and women in marriage and love, and it was the same as Nanjing Peng Yu.
This "engagement rape case", which attracted the attention of the whole network, was also postponed to December because it was quite representative, and the original sentence of September 26, 2023 was postponed to December.
On December 25, the first-instance verdict was finally handed down, and the court held that the two parties were in a romantic relationship, although they had been engaged according to folk Xi, but the marriage had not been registered, and Xi Moumou forcibly had sexual relations with the victim against the victim's will, and his behavior constituted the crime of rape, and he was sentenced to three years in prison.
Defendant Xi XX appealed in court.
After the court investigation, the so-called marriage fraud and extortion were all false, and the woman had already picked up the weapon of the law as soon as possible.
The Russian writer Leo Tolstoy said: Some people regard the same marriage as child's play, while others regard it as the most solemn thing in the world.
Nowadays, in the eyes of many men, such as the sentenced Xi Moumou, for them, as long as the woman agrees to get engaged and married, then it is their private property, and they can do whatever they want regardless of the woman's wishes.
This is probably the root cause of this case.
Folk customs to enter into a marriage contract, but without a marriage certificate, it is not considered husband and wife, and having sex against the will of a woman constitutes rape;
Even if a marriage certificate is obtained, the relationship between the sexes must respect the woman, and having sex against the wife's will also constitutes marital rape.
To respect women is to respect oneself.
