1. Will extramarital mistresses be sentenced?
1. Extramarital mistresses are generally not sentenced to prison. Any behavior that should be punished according to law is a crime, but if the circumstances are obvious, minor, and the harm is insignificant, they are not considered crimes. If a mistress who has an extramarital affair knowingly marries another person who has a spouse, it constitutes the crime of bigamy and will be investigated for criminal liability in accordance with the law.
2. Legal basis:
Article 3 of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China"
If the law clearly stipulates that it is a crime, it shall be convicted and punished in accordance with the law; the law is not clear If it is a criminal act, it shall not be convicted and punished.
Article 258 of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China"
Anyone who has a spouse and marries another person, or who marries another person knowing that he or she has a spouse, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years or criminal detention.
Second, what should I do if my mistress threatens to ask for money outside of marriage?
If an extramarital mistress threatens to ask for money, you can negotiate or call the police. Extramarital affairs are behaviors that violate public order and good customs stipulated by the law. Blackmailing with money is not supported by law. If there is relevant evidence to support it and losses are indeed caused, you can claim other compensation. The mistress's announcement of evil and harm frightened the other party, and she was suspected of extortion.
3. The extramarital mistress dies and commits suicide. Do men need to take responsibility?
He will bear at most some civil liability for compensation, and the victim’s death cannot be entirely attributed to the man’s behavior. No criminal liability is required. When the instigation behavior has the nature of an indirect principal offense, it should be determined as an indirect principal offense of an intentional crime. Such as instigating children and mentally ill people who cannot understand the meaning of death. In judicial practice, there are also cases where the offender is not an indirect principal offender, but such cases are rare and the judgment is very troublesome. After all, a sane adult would not give up his life for an ordinary illegal act. An extramarital man told his mistress to die, and she actually committed suicide. Clearly, abetment is not sufficient to cause suicide.
