A high school student surnamed Lai, who inherited a 500 million estate, fell to his death 2 hours after registering a same-sex marriage with a man named Xia in Taichung. Xia was convicted of forging documents and sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison, equivalent to a finding of a fake marriage, with the ability to appeal. The lawyer representing Lai's mother emphasized that the marriage was fake as there was no relationship between Lai and Xia, and Lai was known to be heterosexual, suggesting that Xia's motive was financial. Witnesses testified to the rushed and joyless marriage process, challenging Xia's claims of genuine intent, leaving doubts about his inheritance claim and sparking debates about marriage freedom.
