The price of lying about being single and seducing a virgin? For a married man in Shanghai, it’s $5,000.
A young Chinese woman sued a married man for stealing her “virginity right” by telling her he was single and beginning a sexual relationship with her, according to a Pudong New Area People’s Court, which ordered the defendant to pay 30,000 yuan to the deceived woman.
The man, whose surname is Li, met the woman, whose last name is Chen, online. They began dating in September 2013. The man said he was not married, and the two traveled to Singapore, where they consummated their relationship, the South China Morning Post.
But after they returned to China, the man’s attentions began to cool, the woman said. She ultimately broke into his home. There, she met his wife.
She filed a lawsuit in March, demanding a written apology and complaining that he “violated her virginity by deception.”
The court said virginity is a protected civil right, and those who violate it can be held liable for damages.
