The husband was addicted to games and asked his wife for money, and after being refused, he beat his wife until she lost her sight in both eyes, and the final verdict has been announced, recently, the tragic case of Xiaoxue, a post-95 girl, and her husband Xie has once again attracted widespread attention in the society, in March 2023, Xiaoxue, who was only two months after marriage, was violently beaten by Xie because she did not recharge her husband's game, and even beat her with a frying pan to make her unconscious, and the subsequent strangulation caused Xiaoxue to lose her sight and lose her ability to take care of herself.
In August 2024, the court convicted Xie of intentional homicide in the first instance and sentenced him to 11 years in prison, and ordered him to compensate Xiaoxue for medical expenses and losses of 656,798.52 yuan.
However, this verdict did not calm the controversy of public opinion, Xiaoxue's parents protested against this verdict, arguing that the sentence was too light, especially in the context of such extreme violence, Xie was only sentenced to 11 years in prison It seems that it cannot reflect the seriousness of the crime, on January 17, 2025, the second-instance trial was held, and finally made a final ruling on February 21, rejecting the appeal and upholding the original verdict.
The case has sparked a wide discussion about marital violence, especially the root causes of the violence, with many netizens questioning why a simple family conflict can lead to such extreme violence, and whether there is a more serious psychological problem or game addiction behind it.
Xie's behavior highlights the extreme reaction of some individuals addicted to online games to their feelings and marriage in real life, and the failure to recharge the game has become the fuse of violence, which is shocking, in addition, this case has also triggered a deep reflection on marital violence, and the widespread gender inequality, emotional control and the hidden existence of domestic violence in society make it difficult for victims to escape the circle of violence.
Xiaoxue's experience is not only a personal misfortune, but also a warning that the society should pay more attention to the prevention and intervention mechanism of domestic violence while paying attention to game addiction, although the trial result of this case has been supported by the law, but the discussion of the society has not stopped, we look forward to stricter legal protection, and hope that through the joint efforts of all sectors of society, the occurrence of similar incidents can be reduced, so that every woman can enjoy due respect and safety in marriage, do you have anything to say about this?
