In China, men only have the right to request sex, meaning that if you want to have sexual relations with a woman, you only have the right to request, not to decide, even a husband only has the right to request.
The essence of the recent Datong engagement case is that a man thought he could have sexual relations with his fiancée just because they were engaged, and his self-righteousness led to him being convicted of rape.
This has shocked the old guards and completely shattered their fantasies.
In the past, the old guards thought that by giving a bride price and buying a house, they could have a sexual life and have children.
However, the reality is that even if you give a bride price and buy a house, if the woman does not agree, you cannot force her; otherwise, it is considered rape. Moreover, if the woman regrets it afterward, you could end up in prison, and the right to bear children is a unique right of women; if a woman wants to have children, she can, and if she does not want to, you cannot force her to have children.
