Guilty of Deceptive Violation of Virginity


Recommended Posts

Not rape, mind you

 

Married man in Shanghai ordered to pay 30,000 RMB for violating another woman's 'virginity right'

 

The man, surnamed Li, told Chen that he was single, and the couple ended up having sex on a trip to Singapore.

 

Three months later, Li broke up with Chen unexpectedly and ended all contact with her. In February, she broke into Li's Pudong apartment where she found him with his wife, to whom he'd been married since January 2013.

 

Chen, who said she takes relationships very seriously, filed a lawsuit against Li on March 26 on the grounds that he had violated her virginity deceivingly. She demanded a written apology and 500,000 yuan in compensation.

 

The attorney of Li, who didn't personally show up in court, said his client denied having sex with Chen. The court eventually ruled that the married man give Chen a written apology and 30,000 yuan in compensation, as he'd 'brought about a negative influence on her health and reputation.'

She was a consulting adult. He didn't rape her. IMO the fact he was married is a separate issue. If he had promised to marry her that may be grounds for violation of a contract. As a single woman in her thirties I would be very skeptical about her claim of virginity.

Mo Shaoping, a law professor at the Central University of Finance and Economics, said that unfaithful spouses could once be charged with adultery, but that law was repealed shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

The only other punishable offense is bigamy, which according to the Marriage Law, is defined as co-habitating or having children with someone other than one's legal spouse, Mo said.Such cases are punishable by up to two years in prison or detention.

"However, bigamy does not extend to those who have extramarital affairs and still primarily live with their legal spouse," Mo said.

During the Second Plenum of the 11th CPC Central Committee in 2009, a CPC representative, Ma Lan, offered a proposal that would allow victims of adultery to seek compensation from the third party, according to the Nanfang Daily.

Those who upload and spread images of mistress shamings and the websites that host them also face punishment.

"If the accusations are proven false, those who posted the images can be fined or detained for spreading rumors. If the facts are verified, they could be charged with violating the victim's right to privacy," said You Chao, a Beijing-based lawyer.

The same charges also would apply to websites, he added.

According to the Criminal Law and its judicial interpretation on Protecting Internet Security, anyone suspected of spreading false information online that is reposted more than 500 times or receives over 5,000 clicks can be charged with defamation of character and jailed for up to 10 years.
