Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 945
"What Qiu Zi said, Da Miao!"

Li Ke stared and said, "One size fits the other. The man and woman who commit adultery are guilty, and the woman's father is also guilty of killing the adulterer. This is not one case, but two cases. How can they be confused?"

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Ming said earnestly: "Li Zi, the law is there, but the offenders are still there. It is because the moral education has not yet arrived, and the law cannot be prohibited. The law is a useless document. It is better to get rid of it."

"Law and morality are not the same thing, but the truth is the outside and the inside. It must be said that law and morality have nothing to do with each other, which is absurd!"

"it is good!"

"color!"

Zuo Qiuming's words won the round of applause from the scholars.

This made Li Ke couldn't help but his face darkened.

He is irrefutable on this matter.

Because law and morality are not the same thing.

Should the criminal law punish behaviors that violate morality while punishing serious violations?
That is to say, should the code of ethics be enforced by the criminal law?
In this matter, Li Ke is a legal school, and Zuo Qiuming is a ritual school.

Seeing that Li Ke didn't speak, Zuo Qiuming continued to wave his hand, and said, "Women without husbands commit adultery. Throughout the ages, there has been no criminalization in the laws of various countries."

"Criminal law does not set up such a case, so as to change customs and customs, it is appropriate to educate, and it is not allowed to be lost at first."

"So, I think this matter is related to morality, and it should not be included in the criminal law."

Li Ke snorted and said, "Qiu Zi's words are wrong. If ethics are useful, why is there a debate today about whether to introduce the crime of adultery?"

"Crafting is not indecent. A woman who has an affair with an outsider and gives birth to a child is a great shame to the woman's family."

"If the adulterer refuses to admit it, he will not be held responsible. Wouldn't this put enormous pressure on the woman and shame her family?"

"..."

On the matter of "treacherous wrongs", Li Ke and Zuo Qiuming are two parties opposing each other, and the scholars have different opinions. It is the public who says the public is right, and the woman says the woman is right, and no one can say what the other is.

Even citing the classics and presenting very sharp examples to refute, they cannot convince the other party.

In Qingji's view, the so-called "rape" does not necessarily have to be punished.

Why?

In this era, the folk customs are open, and the defense of ethics is not so serious.

When young men and women see each other, they fall in love at first sight, and it can even become a good thing. The woman gives her innocence to the man.

As for whether the man will be responsible afterwards, it mainly depends on his character.

It is equivalent to the relationship between male and female friends in later generations.

They do not have the status of husband and wife and are not protected by law.

If such a thing must be punished, I am afraid that the world will criticize it.

At this time, Qingji was sitting on the Sifangtai, seeing the scholars were spitting, the more they talked, the more excited they were, and they even wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight, so he couldn't help but stop them aloud.

"quiet!"

As soon as Qingji spoke, the scholars calmed down a bit and turned their attention to Qingji.

"The traitor is... not guilty!"

"Great King Shengming!"

Seeing that Qingji had made a decision, the scholars were convinced and did not raise any objections.

The state of Wu has a policy of encouraging the birth of the population.

In fact, the number of illegitimate children is not small.

For this kind of thing, Qingji has always turned a blind eye to it, because men in this era still have a sense of responsibility and will take responsibility.

Tingwei Deng Xi stood up again and said, "Next topic."

"Should there be legal sanctions against relatives committing adultery and married women committing adultery with others?"

"Huh!"

The scholars were all in an uproar.

This topic is far too explosive.

However, Qingji thinks it is necessary.

In this era, because the past is not far away, the customs and customs of the primitive society still remain.

It is precisely because of the mutual impact of primitive customs and ritual and music civilization that people show different psychological states in the relationship between the sexes.

Some people abide by the tradition of etiquette and law since the Western Zhou Dynasty, and even sacrifice their lives to maintain Zhou etiquette, while others inherit the original customs and follow their original intentions to have an affair with someone other than marriage.

There are not a few monarchs who lost their lives due to the direct or indirect impact of fornication incidents, taking the state of Lu as an example.

Duke Huan of Lu was murdered in the State of Qi because he knew his wife Wen Jiang had an affair with Duke Xiang of Qi.

These monarchs were either punished by the relatives of the female parties because they were parties to the affair, or were killed because they violated some interests of the parties.

Second, the phenomenon of fornication triggered many domestic rebellions.

For example, Qi Guosheng Mencius, she was originally from the Song Dynasty, the wife of Qi Qinggong, and the mother of Qi Linggong.

She has a grudge against Bao Qian and Guo Wuzi for accusing Qing Ke of having an affair with her.

Coincidentally, Duke Ling of the Kingdom of Martial Arts is participating in the alliance against Zheng. Gao Wujiu and Bao Qian are in charge of guarding the city. When they are waiting for Duke Ling of Qi to return, they find that the city gates are locked and they are checking passengers.

This was originally a normal security protection method, but Sheng Mencius framed Qi Linggong to Qi Linggong for listening to the slander.

Duke Ling of Qi sent Cui Shu and Qing Ke to lead an army to attack Ludi. At that time, Guo Wuzi was following the army of the princes to encircle Zheng. He heard the rebellion in Qi State and asked to return home.

Afterwards, Wuzi Guo killed Qingke and took possession of the valley to launch a rebellion. Qi Linggong and Guozuo formed an alliance in Xuguan to restore Guozuo's official position. The rebellion caused by Shengmengzi's affair with Qingke finally subsided.

It can be seen that, under certain circumstances, the phenomenon of fornication will become the fuse that causes domestic turmoil, intensifies political conflicts, and leads to rebellion.

At this time, a young scholar stood up and said: "The rape of relatives is like a beast. It is a good practice, but it is a personal fault and does not harm the country."

"The adultery of relatives should be the same as the adultery of a married woman with others. It can be educated through etiquette, and there is no need to formulate laws to punish it!"

Li Ke couldn't bear it anymore, stood up immediately and said angrily: "What you said with one step is absurd!"

"How is relative rape different from animals? If education is useful, why have so many relatives commit adultery throughout the ages?"

"In my opinion, if a relative commits adultery, both men and women must be punished, just like a married woman committing adultery with others, she will be punished or punished!"

The scholar retorted: "I heard that if you don't understand the destiny, you can't be a gentleman; if you don't know etiquette, you can't conduct yourself in the world; if you don't know how to distinguish others' words, you can't really understand him."

"Whether relatives commit adultery, or a married woman has an affair with others, it's all a private matter. There's nothing ugly about it!"

"If this kind of thing happens, the most disrespectful person is an adulterer, let alone the national law?"

What the scholar said made Qingji nod his head and agree with it.

Is extramarital affairs illegal in modern times?

Extramarital affairs are not illegal.

However, if the extramarital affair constitutes bigamy, it constitutes a crime and is subject to criminal punishment, and bigamy is a statutory fault situation, and the innocent party can claim divorce damages when divorced.
