On June 28, 2024, at 2:55 in the morning, a high schooler with a net worth of 500 million, surnamed Lai, married a man surnamed Xia, who died two hours after the marriage. The court found Xia guilty of 'sham marriage' after a year of trial, sentencing him to 1 year and 6 months for forging documents. The court criticized Xia for manipulating the marriage for personal gain, taking advantage of Lai's young age and family inheritance conflicts. Xia's father, a land officer, assisted in a property transfer to Lai, leading to their acquaintance. Xia proposed the marriage to prevent inheritance disputes, exploiting Lai's trust and vulnerable situation. Xia's conviction and severe sentence were based on the court's view of his manipulative behavior and moral deviation, which significantly violated the marriage institution and societal norms.
