The world is big, nothing is strange, anything is possible. According to media reports, a 38-year-old woman in Britain sneaked into a strange man's room after being drunk and violently attacked him. Subsequently, the continuation of this incident triggered a heated discussion among netizens, and there were different opinions on whether it was illegal or not. There is no doubt that this is illegal. In the end, the woman was sentenced to three years' imprisonment by the judge for this illegal act.
Is such behavior illegal? Is it illegal for a woman to sneak into a strange man's room after being drunk and commit violence against him? It is definitely illegal in Britain, and it is definitely illegal in China, but it is handled in different ways.
The establishment of rape in China has a basic premise, that is, the perpetrator of rape is male? The victim must be a woman. So men's violence against women can be identified as rape, but women's violence against men can't be identified as rape. In other words, the woman's behavior cannot constitute rape.
According to Article 236 of China's Criminal Law, whoever rapes a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. Whoever commits adultery with a young girl under the age of 14 shall be given a heavier punishment for rape, and the maximum penalty is death.
So what should women do if they are violent towards men? In view of this behavior, that is, the crime of women infringing on men's autonomy, it will be characterized as compulsory indecency and insult.
Crime of compulsory indecency and insult: the object of infringement is the sexual freedom of others (men or women), including voluntary choice of lasting sexual rights, disgusting behavior, shame and normal sexual feelings.
Article 237 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever forcibly molests others or insults women by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention.
Whoever affrays in a public place or commits the crime mentioned in the preceding paragraph, or has other vile circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years.
Whoever molests children shall be given a heavier punishment in accordance with the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs.
This woman's behavior is a crime of compulsory indecency and insult in China, and she will face imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention. Because the target of violence is an adult male, not a child, considering the drunken factor, it may be given a lighter punishment.
In Britain, crimes against men are as serious as crimes against women, so Mary's behavior has constituted attempted rape. However, Mary's lawyer argued that "Mary lived such a hard life when she was very young. She never broke the law, and the main factor leading to Mary's behavior was drunkenness. Under normal circumstances, Mary won't do this because this man is not attractive to Mary. "
Judge Thomas said that "crimes against men are as serious as crimes against women", but considering the above factors, Mary was finally sentenced to three and a half years in prison, which is relatively not serious.
It is reported that a 38-year-old woman named Mary got drunk and strayed into her neighbor's room next door. Later, I took the initiative to sleep with the male owner of the house and tried the relationship between men and women.
But because Mary was as drunk as a fiddler, she accidentally fell out of bed. The man realized that it was not his wife but other women sleeping beside him.
After realizing the problem, the man immediately called his wife and her wife chose to call the police. While waiting for the police to arrive, Mary threatened the man's wife to knock out each other's teeth.
Later, the police rushed to the scene and arrested Mary. But in the process, Mary tried to arrest and attack a policeman. But in the end, Mary was arrested according to law and sentenced to three and a half years in prison.
The author has something to say about this incident, which can't help but make Bian Xiao sigh that the world is vast and wonders. Mary, a 38-year-old woman, has never done anything illegal, but she did something that ruined her reputation because she was drunk. She also faces three and a half years in prison. It's really sad.
At the same time, Mary's assault on the police during her arrest was also very serious. In China, the crime of assaulting a police officer, also known as the crime of obstructing official duties, will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or fines. However, because the incident happened in Britain, the definition and punishment were different, and considering Mary's drunken fault, no investigation was conducted.
This also warns us that we must pay attention to drinking. Drinking is fun and fun, just stop, there is no need to get drunk and make yourself unconscious. If drinking has caused some bad effects on yourself, or caused some irreparable mistakes, it is worth losing and regretting for life.
Everyone is equal before the law, and we should not try to challenge the seriousness of the law. At present, female violence has also been included in the legal category in many countries, and it will be more perfect in the future. Being a qualified and law-abiding good citizen is responsible for yourself and others.
